I guess I am the SPAM safeguard right now.
Shortly, the group will be switched to a "restricted membership".
Groups of this type get little or no spam. I will review e-mail
addresses of new members before allowing posts by them. Most spam
sources have addresses that can be somewhat checked against reality.
If "true spam" is posted I will delete that membership and the
message as soon as possible. I will post a message if I delete a
membership so that my actions are accountable to the group. I will
handle in the background memberships not approved but will attempt a
double check of memberships before not approving an address.
I will do what I can regarding spam and all members should do what
they normally do regarding firewalls and blocks. I will try and keep
the group "safe for work and family" but I will not be going to the
length of taking actions regarding members comments and opionions.
I defer that level of activity to the group owner.

Glad to be rid of the old group -- are safeguards in place to
prevent SPAM
from this one? Is there some specific action that users should do
to
prevent it?
