-
If someone has sent you spam, they have sent you unsolicited e-mail. The term "spam" comes from a Monty Python skit in which the word "spam" is used repeatedly... much in the way that unsolicited e-mail is sent repeatedly to multiple addresses. Spam is considered such a problem in the Internet community that local and national governments are formulating laws to prohibit it. For more information on e-mail and spamming,
