Resolved Question: How do I stop this yahoo group sending me Spam (please read as I’ve tried the obvious).?

I was a member of a yahoo group that recently started getting spam posts, roughly one every 10-20 minutes for most of the day every day. I changed my settings to special notices and then when that didn’t work to no emails at all just view via the web yet I kept getting the spam messages. I then unsubscribed and left the group but I kept getting the messages so I created a temporary email account and rejoined changing the email address for that group to the temporary account but the spam messages sent to that group are still coming to my normal account. Is there anything I can do to stop those messages being sent to me?
EDIT
Thanks Martin G, what exactly happens when I do that as I’d like to avoid causing trouble for other people except as a last resort. By that I mean if I report this do they close the group, try to moderate the spammer, something else?

Secondly is this the complete header? (I removed the group name and sender as I’m trying to avoid causing too much trouble except as a last resort).
