Anyway, I recently see many Gmail addresses in spam Google doesn't
know. Because spamming via Google Groups they must be valid, no?
The Google Groups and its http2nntp gateway does verify the posting
account email address, which appears in the From header. Once
verified, the existence of the email address is not reverified, which
means it can continue to be used for years after the address was
cratered.
They do not verify an email address appearing in the body of a
message, nor does Google require phone numbers, to allow access to
their gateway.
Please keep in mind, while the vast majority of Google Groups lusers
use @gmail.com addresses, this is not a requirement. Any ol' valid
email address can be used to create a Google account and Google Groups
posting account.
