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.
