NetAlert: what is spam?

Spam is the email equivalent of junk mail or nuisance phone calls - or all unsolicited electronic mail sent out in bulk to individuals or organisations that have not consented to receive it. Spam comes under a number of classifications - unsolicited commercial email, chain letters or pyramid schemes or any email without an Opt-out facility.

NetAlert offers tips on how to block spam and prevent it from landing in your email inbox.
