What's your definition of "legitimate" :) ?
My definition of spam is email which is:
- unsolicited (ie: the user didn't sign up for some newsletter or mailing
list and then just decide they don't want it any more)
and
- unwanted (which of course is a pretty vague and personal definition of the
recipient's in itself).
Sometimes email from people you know personally can fall into the second
category (!), but I consider this to be solicited, because it's someone you
have a connection to.
Email from strangers, which you didn't ask for, and don't want, is spam.
Regards,
Antony.
