-9.1. Attacks
-
- The two categories of attack that news is most vulnerable to are
- Denial-of-Service and exploitations of particular implementations.
- Many have argued that "spam", massively crossposted or reposted
- articles constitutes a DoS attack in its own regard. This may be so.
-
- Sending off-topic messages is a matter for individual hierarchies and
- newsgroups to control. It is a violation of this standard to "forge"
- an email address, that is, to use a valid email address which you are
- not entitled to use. All invalid email addresses used in headers MUST
- end in the ".invalid" top-level-domain. This facility is provided
- primarily for those who wish to remain anonymous, but do not care to
- take the additional precautions of using more sophisticated anonymity
- measures.
-
- It is possible that legal penalties may apply to sending unsolicited
- commercial email and/or news articles. Check with your local legal
- authorities.
