Email Spamming

Today in every part of the world, millions of internet users are checking their inbox every second. And these people must be aware of most effective internet problem. Can you guess it?
No!
Its Ok.
I tell you.
The problem about which I am highlighting here is of receiving mails from unknown person or organization. In internet language, such mails are termed as SPAM.
Spam is basically message that is related to earn quick money, winning a jackpot and travel trip, advertising different products or some sex-related materials. Such mails are really unwanted and those who send them are called spammers.

Why the name ‘SPAM’?
‘SPAM’ was the first canned meat product that did not require refrigeration introduced in 1937. But why these unwanted mails are termed as spam is unknown. Or, it may come when some Vikings of Monty Python, highly influential team of British and American television comedians who later branched out into films, overshadows other words by shouting the word ‘spam’ excessively. Actually, internet spam do the same task, it overshadows other mails in the inbox and thus occupy unnecessary bytes.
