agatha,
A search for "WADELL CALLAHAN" brings a list of yahoo groups someone with this name has used to post in the past. If you do so, and any of THOSE groups are ones that you also belong to, it is probable that is where your info was gathered. You have stated the concern that the messages from him go to your "deleted" box and stay for 30 days... you can also adjust the setting for how long "deleted" material stays.
As Andy stated, he has no one in the group using that name (Andy, that search found an alternate email the person may be using, do not want to post it here) so you are likely safe here...

If he's already got your address, I'm not clear on how getting out of the group is going to help any. See another poster's suggestion for setting up a block in gmail, which prevents his emails from ever getting into your inbox, or anywhere else - they'll bounce back to him, if anything.Regards -

Yes, he's not sending it via the group, only to names garnered from the group.
I've set my email to "auto delete" him, but gmail only puts him into my deleted box I have to then further delete him or he stays in there for 30 days, the same with the spam box.
The problem is that his emails (sometimes 2 at once) can be up to 40 mb a time. That takes up a lot of mail box space and because I travel a lot I often can't check my mail box for long periods. I'm worried about "bouncing" and upsetting members in my "groups".
Thanks for the thought though.
By resigning from THIS group, which I believe is the one from which he got my email address I'm hoping to prove that theory, in which case I will know then how to deal with hi. If it works I'll be able to rejoin using my old address once I've dealt with him.
Fondest wishes.

{{{ I myself have gotten a few from him, he is not listed as a member of this group and the group settings do not allow members to view profiles of other members do not sure how he does it. }}}

Agatha, for what it's worth, I have received no emails from this jerk.
But he may be targeting only women. Have you tried blocking him in
your email? If you're using Yahoo, go to Options (top left of the
screen), Mail Options, Blocked Addresses, and add his email to it.
You won't have any more from that email address hitting your inbox.
Hope this helps.

>It is with the greatest regret that I have to leave this group.
>I enjoy the posts very much but one person has hijacked your mailing list and is regularly sending "UNSOLICTED and UNWANTED" emails sometimes 40 mb long, and all attempting to promote himself as some sort of super-stud!!!
>With a yahoo group I can always opt out of the mailing list when I want, but this individual, WADELL CALLAHAN <chicagoblkman@gmail.com>, does not give me that option and also rejects all my polite requests to stop sending me his emails.
>So, in an attempt to stop his unsolicted stuff I have to see whether or not resigning from this group will get me some relief.
>I hope that, one day, I amy be able to re-apply for membership if I feel he has stopped using your membership list for sending out his circulars.
