I joined this forum group (not this one) a couple of weeks ago. I started getting
EMAILS for each discussion message given. I went BACK into the settings and
requested that I don't want these emails sent to my email account.
I FINALLY had to contact the group and they said that it was probably
a bug and that they would report it. This is still going on and the group discussions are going to my email. My email account is flooded with at least 50 messages every day. I have contacted the group 3 times and was told that it would be taken care of;however, it still goes on. I asked if I could close the account and I was told that there was no option. Is there a foolproof way to get this taken care of?
Well although they told you there is no way to close the account. I can guarantee there has to be a way to close or delete the account on all systems. So I'd SUGGEST asking them again and if not threaten that you'll contact their ISP / WebHost with notifications that they're spamming you.

There is no excuse to getting this many e-mails a day. If you need help identifying ISP/WebHost post where this discussion group is and we'll let you know.
