Spam is any unsolicited email (you didn't ask for it)..usually sent out to many people, which is the same thing as bulk emailing (it was sent to many people at once).
But something can be sent as bulk, and not be spam, like a newsletter you subscribed to.

The term "spam" is Internet slang that refers to unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or unsolicited bulk email (UBE). Some people refer to this kind of communication as junk email to equate it with the paper junk mail that comes through the US Mail. Unsolicited email is email that you did not request; it most often contains advertisements for services or products. There are very few reputable marketers using UCE to advertise goods and services.

E-mail spam is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to thousands (or millions) of recipients. Perpetrators of such spam ("spammers") often harvest addresses of prospective recipients from Usenet postings or from web pages, obtain them from databases, or simply guess them by using common names and domains. By popular definition, spam occurs without the permission of the recipients.
Important Notice to Nonprofit Mailers of Standard (Bulk Mail) Due to recent United States Postal Service changes in sorting requirements and the great demand for this class of service, it is important to schedule your jobs up to two weeks in advance of the desired mailing date. These changes by the USPS have added additional days in sorting time for large national mailings

Spam is unsolicited e-mails, e-mails you did not really want or had permitted to be sent to you. Yahoo! Mail filters it and directs it to bulk.
