I hear that you are the world's expert on ice cream.  I want to hire you
to help my ice cream manufacturing business.  We have never met.  I send
you an email.

The above definition classifies my email as spam.

Not that it's a solution, but it seems such a person could give blanket consent
for potential collaborators or customers to contact him for professional
reasons related to ice cream, and if JK happens to be an eccentric ice cream
inventor who talks to nobody, then he would presumably not give such consent
because he truly does not care to be contacted/hired.
