It is not always obvious whether such mail is innocent, inadvertent, or intentional, however, certain activities will result in action being taken by Despammed as described in Section 3 of this document. Despammed provides email services as a free service to the Internet community at large. Any decision made by Despammed in relation to this service shall be final on all matters. Email Abuse is an abuse of mail facilities and not necessarily abuse on the Internet. To qualify as Email Abuse, an act must be unwelcome as well as interfere with an individual or group of individuals in some specific way.
Abuse also includes activities that are illegal or dishonest.
The most common example of this in email is 'Make Money Fast' - gifting programs or reports purchasing programs that try to convince the reader that they will become fabulously wealthy by sending other people money. In addition to being a waste of resources, such messages are illegal in certain countries. Protecting people from these sorts of email is the primary reason Despammed exists in the first place. Unsolicited Commercial Email is advertising material received by email without the recipient either requesting such information or otherwise expressing an interest in the material advertised. Similar to the above UCE but not attempting to sell anything.
