# Spam vs. Spim |
||||
|
||||
Spam refers to unsolicited and often irrelevant messages sent over email, typically to a large number of recipients, with the purpose of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, or other malicious activities. Spam emails are usually sent by automated bots and are characterized by their bulk nature. |
