Thor commented: #Email spam is universally defined as unsolicited bulk email. It must be #extremely rare for someone to join an anti-abuse *working* group without #knowing basic concepts such as this one. Actually, the question of "what's spam?" can be surprisingly tricky when things like national and local legislation gets factored in, to the point that some organizations prefer to refer to "unwanted email" or "abusive email" instead of "spam" instead. See, for example, reports from the MAAWG Email Metrics Program, e.g., www.maawg.org/sites/maawg/files/news/MAAWG_2011_Q1Q2Q3_Metrics_Report_15.pdf which reports industry percentages for "abusive email" Regards, Joe
