[AquaticLife] RECEIVING SPAM FROM THIS GROUP
The proper resolution to this issue is for the owner of this group to (i think) join grouply and request that the group be removed from grouply so that it cannot archive messages and send spam to members of the group. At any rate the issue can be resolved by the owners of this group to protect us all from the “spam” messages if they choose to do so.
