Email spam

An email is defined as spam when it is unsolicited and is sent as part of a large collection of messages, meaning in a bulk. It is also known as Unsolicited Bulk Email ("UBE"). The content of the email is not relevant for categorizing it as spam. It could be porn, a begging letter, a scam or an advertisement and not be spam. The only criteria is that the message is sent unsolicited and in a bulk. Sending email spam is forbidden by all ISPs (=Internet Service Providers).
