Very good.  Obviously you have much incite into this because you  
have processed many groups in the past for a long time and are  
familiar with the attempts.

The warnings themselves could become annoying. :(

How can a human attempt to post to a private group?  If other  
bots are doing that, then maybe don't send any warning at all -  
just ignore it.  (?)

You are monitoring the situation quite well.
