They are messages neither asked for nor wished that they flood the accounts of mail of the users and suppose great losses for the companies had, in the best one of the cases, to the reduction of the productivity that entail. If, in addition, they go accompanied of some virus, the result still can be more ominous.
This practice is known like Spam. The origin of the term usually is attributed to a song. It appears in a comedy of the British group Monty Python.
