Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail.
Real spam is generally e-mail advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup.
In order to track down the originator of the mail, the postmaster must see the full headers of the message. To display the full headers, please follow the instructions below or consult your email program's help system. Open the offending message in Netscape Messenger. This step must be completed only once. Copy and paste Internet headers into the forwarded spam message.
