Spam
Spam is spam. And I’m not talking about those wonderful breakfast treats. They’re basically junk e-mail that come companies send to advertise a particular product or service. There are even those that scam people about receiving secret inheritance, etc. Spamming is considered an abuse of electronic messaging systems since it is used to arbitrarily send unwelcome bulk messages. Some are funny but most of them are annoying especially when they start littering your Inboxes.
Many Web mail hosts have spam or junk mail filters but not all junk mails are screened so be extra vigilant about it. If you an unfamiliar sender or if the subject is obviously lewd or fishy, then go ahead and delete it.
