Spamming (sending unsolicited advertising to numerous email addresses or newsgroups and/or generating a significantly higher volume of outgoing email than a normal user) , spoofing (using a return email address which is not the valid reply address of the sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is really sending the message), passive spamming (promoting a web site hosted by ABC Web Service by spamming from some other source), trolling (posting controversial messages in newsgroups to generate responses), mailbombing (inundating a user with email without any serious intent to correspond), mail-bombing (sending multiple messages without significant new content to the same user) and subscribing someone else to an electronic mailing list without that person's permission are examples of net abuse.
