I had a further thought. Defining spam only as unwanted mail will be a
problem for anti-spam activities operating spam traps. By definition the
mail received in a spam trap is "wanted" - the purpose of the trap is to
learn about the sources of unsolicited commercial email, and incoming mail
helps it achieve that purpose.
Actually, what you want is no email to hit the spam trap, because
that would indicate that the spammers have stopped. Also, spam is not
necessarily commercial so don't call it "UCE" unless the C stands for
"criminal".
