a spam is nothing but an unsolicited mail.that is which doesnt serve any purpose to you and has been sent without ur consent.they are mostly sent by business enterprises and now by phishers(who steal ur personal info online).

to indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass quantities. Noun: electronic "junk mail".
Spam refers to electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. In addition to being a nuisance, spam also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Because the Internet is a public network, little can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail. However, the use of software filters in e-mail programs can be used to remove most spam sent through e-mail.

Spam can be defined as either luncheon (mystery) meat or unwanted emails from customers trying to solicit for your business.
