Sure, once we agree on a definition for spam, that COULD work fine.
Is there a disagreement on this point ? I thought it was "unsolicited+bulk" (as in http://www.spamhaus.org/definition.html ) and that this definition was quite universally accepted in the industry.
JFTR, I don't think it has to be "bulk" to be SPAM. OTOH, I see the "C" in "UCE" as relevant... if someone sends a commercial sales mail to my private e-mail, and it's just a single and directly targeted e-mail, it's *still* SPAM.
In the UK, the term "marketing" is used in place of commercial. It's wider than commercial. You could be marketing a political party, charity, or church.
So, you see, there is no universal definition.
