    The origin of SPAM

    Monty Python or THIS video below is responsible for the present usage of the word, "SPAM" as synonym for "abundant".

    SPOILER :

    Spam (electronic)
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search
    This article is about unsolicited electronic messages. For the food, see Spam (food). For other uses, see Spam (disambiguation).
    An email box folder littered with spam messages

    Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages (spam), especially advertising, indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, social spam, television advertising and file sharing spam. It is named for Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch in which Spam is included in almost every dish.[1]

    Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. In the year 2011, the estimated figure for spam messages is around seven trillion. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.[2]

    A person who creates electronic spam is called a spammer.[3]
