There are few things more annoying than an email in-box full of spam. Spam is unwanted Internet advertising that's sent to a huge number of people at a time.
Since 1937, spam has been used to mean "canned meat," after one particular brand of it, Spam, which was named for a combination of the words spiced and ham. Not until the early 1990s did the more modern definition of spam come into use, referring to multi-recipient email or other online messages that are mostly sent for commercial advertising or marketing purposes. To send such a message is "to spam" the people you're sending it to.
