Spam means junk mail
SPAM is also an acronym for Sending People Annoying messages, and it is also known as Unsolicited email. It's not really easy to give a definition of spam, because not every junk email is spam. It is often the case that spam is sent to a group that is large. Spam can also be an unwanted SMS message, and does not need to be restricted to e-mail. In the Telecommunications Act it is said that sending SPAM is banned in the Netherlands. The first SPAM message was sent in 1978, then to 393 email addresses. This is now a joke: every day 120 billion SPAM messages are sent daily. SPAM is also the brand name for cooked ham in cans, a kind of Smac as we know it here. The thought is that the men of Monty Python were responsible for the combination of spam and the unwanted messages: [YouTube] Anwy2MPT5RE [/youtube] spam-the Documentary [YouTube] iu-Wv8A_Q5Q [/youtube]
