Actually, that would be a vandalism. But leaving a leaflet wouldn't be
illegal. But if someone said something to you in front of your house that
you didn't like, there's nothing you can do. On the other hand, if one
person sent you 50,000 of the same email that *could* (with other factors
and circumstances) be construed as a form of harassment (like someone
standing in front of your house shouting at you for six hours).
... again, not advocating spam ... just discussing it ... :)
