What is Spamming


Spamming refers to the sending of bulk-mail by an identified or unidentified source. In non-malicious form, bulkadvertising mail is sent to many accounts. In malicious form (e.g., e-mail bombing), the attacker keeps on sending bulk mail until the mail-server runs out of disk space.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY SPAMMING 

Spamming comes complete with the following disadvantages:

Spam reduces productivity. The billions of spam messages circulating across the Internet can disrupt email delivery, degrade system performance, and reduce overall productivity.

Spam eats up your time. Deleting spam emails seems like the simple solution, but it eats up a significant amount of productivity.

Spam can lead to worse things. Spam messages may contain offensive or fraudulent material and can even be used to spread viruses.
