Greetings Todd,

there is an option on yahoo groups (I did it a long tome ago for my group and forget exactly where to find it) to require approval for a member's first listing. this cuts down on spam almost completely. the setting is somewhere in an options area available to the administrator. If you can't find it, contact me and i try to search the far recesses of my memory and find it for you.
