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.
