> What is a SPAM mailing?

Someone sends a message (usually selling something) to a multitude of
lists and netnews groups.  The message usually has nothing to do with the
list or news group topic.  Typically the sender uses a "spam" program
that enables them to hide the originating address so that they don't get
deluged with messages from disgruntled receivers.  Spam programs seem to
be proliferating, thus causing an increase in the quantity of Internet
junk mail we're seeing lately.  An annoying phenomenon.
