RFC Spam

RFC Spam refers to unsolicited or unwanted communications sent through the protocols defined in Request for Comments (RFC) documents, which are technical standards for internet technologies. In practice, it often describes spam messages such as emails or network-based messages sent in bulk without recipient consent, exploiting these standards for malicious or commercial purposes. These messages can clog networks, waste resources, and pose security risks. Recognizing RFC Spam involves understanding that it misuses standard communication protocols to distribute unwanted content, highlighting the importance of filtering and security measures to maintain healthy and efficient network operations.
