What's your definition of spam Mark?

This is direct from Spamhaus, and I agree with it:

"The word "Spam" as applied to Email means Unsolicited Bulk Email ("UBE").

Unsolicited means that the Recipient has not granted verifiable  
permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means that the message is  
sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having  
substantively identical content.

A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk."

So which of the two did that email not meet?
