Spam

Spam is the term used for junk e-mail.

It is also known as unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE). The message is generally get-rich-quick schemes or pornography. The process of sending it is called spamming, and the person who sends it is a spammer.

Downloading spam from your ISP costs you money - the cost of the connection to load the files. It also wastes your time. To read how to fight spam, see http://www.abuse.net
