E-mail spam, also known as junk e-mail, is a subset of spam that involves nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by e-mail. A common synonym for spam is unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE). Definitions of spam usually include the aspects that email is unsolicited and sent in bulk. "UCE" refers specifically to unsolicited commercial e-mail. E-mail spam has steadily grown since the early 1990s. Botnets, networks of virus-infected computers, are used to send about 80% of spam. Since the cost of the spam is borne mostly by the recipient, it is effectively postage due advertising. The legal status of spam varies from one jurisdiction to another. In the United States, spam was declared to be legal by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 provided the message adheres to certain specifications. ISPs have attempted to recover the cost of spam through lawsuits against spammers, although they have been mostly unsuccessful in collecting damages despite winning in court. Spammers collect e-mail addresses from chatrooms, websites, customer lists, newsgroups, and viruses which harvest users' address books, and are sold to other spammers. They also use a practice known as "e-mail appending" or "epending" in which they use known information about their target (such as a postal address) to search for the target's email address. Much of spam is sent to invalid e-mail addresses. Spam averages 78% of all e-mail sent. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have added an e-mail address to spam as I do not want to receive any mails from that address. Will this person find out I have done so? Will this e-mail address be affected in any other way? It is used for business so I do not want to affect their job. Asked by Erica L - Tue Feb 3 09:24:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. No on all counts. When you spam an email address, the sender won't ever know about it. (Just don't let them know about this, though.) Future messages from them will end up in the spam folder and they will be automatically dumped in a specified period of time. You won't have to ever worry about this again. Answered by brian 2010 - Wed Feb 4 02:08:42 2009 Someone sent me a spam e-mail from my account. Has my account been hacked into? Q. I received a spam e-mail about drugs. The odd thing was that the address matched my e-mail account. I sent a reply to the e-mail and I received my own response. I'm worried that someone may be using my e-mail account to spam other peoples. What's going on? What should I do? Asked by Aaron S - Sat Aug 16 13:45:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Anyone with a separate email program can use any name or address for the FROM address. I could change my name and address in seconds in Thunderbird to anything. It in no way indicates a problem. Spammers do it to keep mail from being returned to them. There is no way for you to stop it. You also can't mark it as spam or you block yourself. l q Answered by Barkley Hound - Sat Aug 16 13:48:51 2008 Spam the meat and spam the e-mail junk?
Q. How did junk e-mail start to be called spam? I've never gotten spam in my mail (the meat kind). BTW i actually like spam, the food that is. Asked by orangeflavoredfairy - Thu Aug 16 12:49:45 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ya know that is a good question, I think it's because the food Spam is junk and the mail Spam is junk.
