Unsolicited commercial email

Unsolicited commercial email, commonly known as spam, refers to unwanted emails sent to recipients without their permission for advertising or promotional purposes. These emails often promote products, services, or schemes and are sent in bulk, frequently cluttering inboxes. They can be intrusive, misleading, or contain malicious links. Laws and regulations aim to limit spam, emphasizing the importance of consent before sending commercial emails. For recipients, spam can be a nuisance and pose security risks; for senders, it can damage reputation and violate legal standards.
