Spam and email security

Spam is a general term used to describe electronic ‘junk mail’ – unwanted messages sent to your email account. These messages vary, but are essentially commercial and often annoying in their sheer volume. They may try to persuade you to buy a product or service, or visit a website where you can make purchases; or they may attempt to trick you.
