Email Spam: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Email Spam

Email spam, also known as junk email, spam mail, or just spam, is the practice of sending unsolicited communications in large quantities via email (also known as spamming). The name originates from a sketch that was performed by Monty Python, in which the name of a canned pork product was parodied. Spam is widespread, unavoidable, and repeated. Since the early 1990s, spam in email has been gradually increasing, and by 2014, it was estimated that it accounted for approximately 90% of all overall email traffic.
