It was set up a very long time ago in the days before domain names were commonplace and folks relied on store-and-forward networks (UUCP, fido, etc.) to get their mail. Obtaining mailboxes on servers and connectivity was a really big deal in those days. Till last year, there were some hosts that used to automatically post statistics here and there used to be a FAQ about Chicago Mail issues. But all that stuff has gone away. It's difficult to imagine what purpose this group continues to serve.
