But that's not what we're defining spam _here_ for. Here we merely
need a rough working definition so that we know what we're talking
about.
Here, a rough working definition of "Unsolicited bulk email" is more
than satisfactory and can help guide potential solutions. Because
"unsolicited" and "bulk" is what is causing the problem we're seeing
today.
So long as any proposed protocol change doesn't have to say things
like, "If it meets our definition of spam, it must be tagged as thus,
or the user's consent must be confirmed." I agree, and am
happy to move on to the next issue.
