Hello, If I am correct spam is mass unsolicited (untargeted?) commercial emailing. Is it also illegal to send targeted, individual commercial messages? I'm asking because many online services (eg. Paypal) give people referral bonuses, and sometimes I come across a merchant or individual who may be interested in a particular service. I'm tempted to ask nicely if he/she may want to sign up, but since I'm assuming it may not be lawful, I've never done so. Paypal's instructions say it's totally legit only if it's someone you know personally, or if you've done business before.
