Web Hosting Glossary - S

Spam (or Spamming)
An inappropriate use of a mailing list, or USENET or other networked communications facility by sending the same message to a large number of people who didn’t ask for it. The term probably comes from the Monty Python skit which featured the word spam repeated over and over. (Spam is a registered trademark of Hormel Corporation, for its processed meat product.)
