Why is Internet Spam, so called?  Thought it was a sort of pork luncheon meat?

A Monty Python sketch featured a restaurant in which everything contained SPAM: "......spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam; or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam". The customers do not want SPAM. The waitress insists that they have to have SPAM. There are Vikings singing about SPAM. \n\nContrary to popular belief, the Hormel Corporation has never had any connection to email spam. In fact, the initial spammers were known as the "Green Card Lawyers"; they posted the exact same offer of their services to obtain a US "green card" in every Usenet newsgroup. Repeatedly. Uning exactly the same text.  This initial delivery mechanism wasn't email, but it wasn't long before spammers branched out to it - more people, easier to do. \n\nSo, analogically, "spam" is repeated emails that you don't want but someone insists on giving you anyway.

I think you mean spam.\nIt is there in the page usually on the top of the message, as Report Spam or Report Junk like this.

Yahoo has created "robots" for some games so that you could play with them. But if they spam, I don't think that they are Yahoo! robots.

I wonder if BoraBora knows what a SPAM violation is.  Oh well, I was hoping someone would make me feel violated today. ***sniff sniff***\n\nSpeaking of Yahoo cows?  Those are really big heffers!  A couple ton maybe.  Obviously to big to type on there own but still able to push the form letter button.\n\nI don't know about most of them, but Ginger is a pig!

There's a lot of iterations of this trash mail.  There are also a lot of scripts that just look through web pages for email addys to find victims to spam.\n\nCheck out www.419eater.com for a laugh and more info.

Yes.  And I saw a marked INCREASE in the amount of spam I received.\nNot only that, but it seemed to be personalized spam, as if it came from a source I had submitted info to.

In the Spam folder???\n\nI might be missing something but it's the folder (on the left) below 'sent' and about 'Trash'.

For computers/email:\n'Spamming' means sending a lot of emails to people who didn't ask for them; it's used mostly by advertisers and to spread viruses.\n\n("Spam" is also a brand of processed, canned meat - similar to ham.  There's plenty of debate about when & why people started using 'spam' for mass emails.)

Hard to avoid.  Reporting spam and getting a spam blocker will help but I'm afraid it's pretty tough to avoid completely.

I consider e-mail from Yahoo admin as spam!

Spam is any message or posting, regardless of its content, that is sent to multiple recipients who have not specifically requested the message. Spam can also be multiple postings of the same message to newsgroups or list servers that aren't related to the topic of the message. Other common terms for spam include unsolicited commercial email (UCE) and unsolicited bulk email (UBE). \n\nThe individuals who send spam are typically people who purchased or harvested a list of email addresses. They send messages from numerous different addresses to all areas of the Web. \n\nAll mail originating from an ISP has an originating IP address embedded in the full address headers. This address helps to identify the sender of the email and track the individual to his or her service provider. Individuals who use that ISP's address in their spam are forging mail headers if the originating IP line is absent in the spam.

True, but spam is not illegal.\n\nBe nice if you said what it is your trying to sell us, so we could decide if we need to open your email.\nHowever don't bank on it, most of us delete email.

Spam is bulk mail you have identified as somethingyou don't want to receive. In other words, you might receive bulk mail that is of interest to you (never know). But if you decide it isn't and you don't want it, then it becomes spam and you can categorize it as such.
