In it's original charter the following examples of "on-topic" areas were listed:
- Mailbombing
- DOS attacks
- Listserv bombs
- Unsolicited email
- Email address list
- Mailing list abuse
- Large-scale mailings
- Chain letters
- Email viruses
- Pyramid schemes
- Filtering software
History
The group was officially proposed (i.e it's RFD posted) by Tim Skirvin on July 9 1996 alongside a number of other groups in order to reduce the load on the two net abuse groups at that time, news.admin.net-abuse.announce and news.admin.net-abuse.misc.
Later that month it went to vote and passed 451 to 28.
In September 2002 it was proposed that a subgroup, news.admin.net-abuse.email.blocklists be created. See also:
