What is spam?
Spam is email you don’t want and you did not ask for. It gets increasingly irritating as more and more arrive. Unfortunately, the senders are usually unprincipled. If you write back to say you want no more messages from them they mark you down as a ‘live’ email and send you even more spam. So one of our spam rules is Never reply to a spam email.
SPAM refers to the same thing over and over again. It originally applied to massively cross-posted Usenet articles, but has been expanded to include most forms of net abuse. It is commonly used to refer to Unsolicited Commercial E-mail, (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE), or Usenet abuse such as commercial posts in a newsgroup where ads are not welcome, off-topic posts or cross-posting to more than five newsgroups.
SPAM is unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; it is often classified as junk e-mail. Your Unwired mailbox has anti spam filtering available which is switched off by default. When switched on all SPAM will be sent to your junk mail folder. You can also create additional filtering rules to send specific known email addresses or emails with specific content to this folder. To switch on SPAM filtering or create additional filters, visit the ‘preferences’ section (top right hand corner of the screen) whilst logged into your mailbox from the Unwired website. Click on ‘Spam Filtering’ under the email section of the preference page.
The word “Spam” as applied to Email means Unsolicited Bulk Email (“UBE”). Unsolicited means that the Recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively identical content. A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk.
