Excessive cross-posting to multiple newsgroups, forums and list servers is considered bulk (and also opposed to the netiquette). As this message is targetting a too large audience and out of topic, and is also a commercial ad, I can say that bulk+unsollicitated makes it fully qualifiable as SPAM.
No. I'd say spam also needs to be untargeted.
This is a unicode list. So it is targetted.
While it is off-topic, I can sympathise with the poster. Just give them a warning and let them be. No need to be excessively harsh over an innocent mistake, I'd think. Right??
I will complain to Yahoo for your abuse of its AUP in this webmail.
