What is spam and why it should be stopped?
Spam refers to the unsolicited sending of large amounts of e-mail (as well as postings to newsgroups) to promote a specific products or service - sometimes to such an extent that it crashes e-mail servers. It is also referred to as 'electronic junk mail' which clutters up your inbox. It is therefore very important to report any form of spam to help protect the Internet as a valuable resource, as well as to ensure its usefulness for all its users.
