Also known as: rmgroup
The control message asking servers to remove a group. Since a forged rmgroup could wipe groups across the network, almost no server acts on one automatically today; administrators queue them for review or honor them only when signed by a recognized hierarchy maintainer. Articles in a removed group normally stay on disk and expire on the usual schedule rather than being deleted immediately.
