What does Spamming Mean?

Spamming means the use of automation systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) such as emails and text to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of generate revenues using commercial advertising.

Spamming, usually associated with email marketing, is internet slang that refers to unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or unsolicited bulk email (UBE) but spamming can be done with by text messages, comment spam and chat spamming.

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 most often contains advertisements for services or products, but very few reputable marketers use UCE to advertise.
