Spam is unsolicited, usually commercial, communication sent to a large number
of people. It is the e-mail equivalent of junk mail and is illegal in this
country. It is illegal because the sender is stealing resources from the
recipient. Unlike with junk mail where the sender pays to have the
commercial communication delivered to you door, with e-mail it is the
recipient who is paying for the connect time, disk space, etc. which are
consumed.
Outside Spam can be blocked by the list administrators. If it is being sent
by someone on the list, I think they deserve one warning (at the most!) and
should then be banned from the list.
