We have a group mailing list setup for about 10 or 15 users and just the
mailing list gets sent spam containing stuff dealing with viagra and cialis.
I know you can create a rule to weed out these messages on a particular email
address but I'm not sure how to do it for a group mailing address so it does
it for everyone in the group list.
 
What version of Outlook are you using? Is everybody on the list a user
internal to your organization or ? Where do you have the mailing list set
up -- in Outlook? Exchange? YahooGroups? Something else?

Outlook 2003. Everybody on the lists are internal to our organization. The
mailing list is setup on an Exchange Server.
 
You can go into Active Directory Users & Computers on the Exchange server,
find the distribution list, double-click it, go to Exchange General tab and
you can set some message restrictions there that might help.

Oh...and if you're using Exchange 2003 you might look into setting up
Intelligent Message Filtering and Connection Filtering to help block spam at
the gateway.
