The term 'unsolicited email' became prominent in Brazil with internet expansion in the 2000s. While 'spam' is widely understood, 'email não solicitado' is preferred in formal and legal contexts, especially regarding compliance with anti-spam laws (Lei nº 12.965/2014 in Brazil). In the US, this issue is regulated by CAN-SPAM Act, making the term essential in corporate and legal communications.
