Charter
The problem of 'spam' on the Internet is well known to almost all users [Vix98]. Its use (abuse) is increasing and in many cases it can cause severe technical and operational problems to network operators and users; in particular those hosts which are target as email "relays". Since technical measures to combat this network abuse have not been widely deployed, it was proposed at a BoF session on the subect at RIPE 29, to form a working group which would aim to tackle the problem from two non-technical angles:
The work of this group was carried out principally by email. It met at RIPE Meetings to finalise any documents. Participation in RIPE Working Groups is open to all. The first meeting was held during RIPE 31.

This list was open to everyone to participate in discussions. You can read archived discussions through the website. The list was renamed to the Anti-Abuse Working Group Mailing List and all subscribers details transferred in September 2008.
