[AquaticLife] RECEIVING SPAM FROM THIS GROUP
The owner does not need to join Grouply to block their list from Grouply. If the owner requests it, I will forward him the appropriate links.
Again, Grouply does not spam. Unwanted messages may come from Grouply, but they are initiated by those drinking the Grouply kool-aid. They want you to join them for a drink. Simply report the message to abuse@grouply.com. If you do not know the person who sent it, mention that to them also. Follow the links in the email to block any further mail from Grouply.
