Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index news.admin.net-abuse.email (sometimes abbreviated nanae or n.a.n-a.e) is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to discussion of the abuse of email systems. 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 In recent years the group has been subject to several attacks, most prominently Denial of service attacks using hipcrime. 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.
