(From Hormel 's Spiced Ham , via the Monty Python
Spam " song ) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to
one or more {Usenet } {newsgroups }, {mailing lists }, or other
messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of
netiquette }.
It is possible to spam a newsgroup with one well - (or ill -)
planned message , e .g . asking "What do you think of abortion ?"
on soc .women . This can be done by {cross -post }ing , e .g . any
message which is crossposted to alt .rush -limbaugh and
alt .politics .homosexuality will almost inevitably spam both
groups . (Compare {troll } and {flame bait }).
Posting a message to a significant proportion of all
newsgroups is a sure way to spam Usenet and become an object
of almost universal hatred . Canter and Siegel spammed the net
with their Green card post .
If you see an article which you think is a deliberate spam , DO
NOT post a {follow -up } - doing so will only contribute to the
general annoyance . Send a polite message to the poster by
private e -mail and CC it to "postmaster " at the same address .
Bear in mind that the posting 's origin might have been forged
or the apparent sender 's account might have been used by
someone else without his permission .
The word was coined as the winning entry in a 1937 competition
to choose a name for Hormel Foods Corporation 's "spiced meat "
now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat "). Correspondant
Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty
Python by at least ten years . He cites an editor for the
Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a
can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it
would stick to the unwary passersby ."

See also {netiquette }.
2 . (A narrowing of sense 1 , above ) To indiscriminately send
large amounts of unsolicited {e -mail } meant to promote a
product or service . Spam in this sense is sort of like the
electronic equivalent of junk mail sent to "Occupant ".
In the 1990s , with the rise in commercial awareness of the
net , there are actually scumbags who offer spamming as a
service " to companies wishing to advertise on the net . They
do this by mailing to collections of {e -mail } addresses ,
Usenet news , or mailing lists . Such practises have caused
outrage and aggressive reaction by many net users against the
individuals concerned .
3 . (Apparently a generalisation of sense 2 , above ) To abuse
any network service or tool by for promotional purposes .
AltaVista is an {index }, not a promotional tool . Attempts to
fill it with promotional material lower the value of the index
for everyone . [...] We will disallow {URL } submissions from
those who spam the index . In extreme cases , we will exclude
all their pages from the index ." -- {Altavista }.
4 . To crash a program by overrunning a
fixed -size {buffer } with excessively large input data .
See also {buffer overflow }, {overrun screw }, {smash the stack }.
5 . (A narrowing of sense 1 , above ) To flood any
chat } forum or {Internet game } with purposefully annoying
text or macros . Compare {Scrolling }.
