Spamware is
software designed by or for
spammers. Spamware varies widely, but may include the ability to
import thousands of addresses, to generate random addresses, to insert
fraudulent headers into messages, to use dozens or hundreds of mail
servers simultaneously, and to make use of open relays. The sale of
spamware is illegal in eight U.S. states.

Another type of spamware is software used to search for e-mail addresses to
build lists of e-mail addresses to be used either for spamming directly or to be
sold to spammers.
