Ham=good wanted email Spam=bad unwanted email
Those are not the generally accepted definitions and definitely not the ones used by us.
spam = unsolicited bulk/commercial email ham = everything else
You are the language expert amongst the developers. It is best to be politically correct nowadays. Complaints have been made by the Jewish, kosher (not yet by the Muslim, halal) community who would rather not see such words in common use.
I use the terms "spam" and "non-spam," myself, as far as SA goes. Though atheist, I would rather not use the term "ham," since I see no reason to. There is a perfectly viable alternative (non-spam.) When I buy ??? from my local butcher, I simply point at it and do the rest in sign language, in order not to offend any possible customers within earshot.
Could we have an alternative to "spam?"
Best,
Tony
