November 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #191: Spam: A Definition

Tip of the Week

Do you find your online mailbox filled with unwanted junk from people and companies you´ve never heard of? Well, welcome to the world of "spam." And, if you´re thinking about doing a mass mailing of your newsletter to people who didn´t subscribe, think again. This unsolicited email, usually involving advertising for a service or product, can get you into trouble.

Spam, not only takes up a considerable amount of network bandwith, but in most cases, just wastes people´s time. Some ISPs, such America Online, have even instituted policies to prevent spammers from spamming their subscribers. In a nutshell, spam is "an endless repetition of worthless text."
