# How to Create a Spam Report Button in Outlook

### <span class="text-4505230f--TextH400-3033861f--textContentFamily-49a318e1"><span data-key="f12c883121b04eaf8fb68a478bc4544c">E-mail Spam Definition</span></span>

***"Spam is any kind of unwanted, unsolicited digital communication, often an email, that gets sent out in bulk."***

The main takeaway from the definition above is the word "**unsolicited**". This means that any bulk e-mail that you receive from an entity that you have signed up with and have given them your e-mail address is generally **not** considered Spam. In those cases, simply **unsubscribing** from their e-mail lists/newsletters usually stops the e-mails.
