what is a spamer?
dave@... 23rd Apr 2009
Please define spam better.

Currently unwanted email? The vast majority of the spam I get is obviously because of my own actions when signing-up for a newsletter or forum.

Any mass emailing? What about communications for NPOs? When I was doing a newsletter for a community club with 40 members I ran afoul with anti-spam actions constantly. To be labeled a spammer all I had to do was email people the agenda of the next meeting.

Like any obscenity, it is best defined as "I know it when I see it". I don't want the government in charge of prosecuting something that subjective.
