Spammer: one who sends spam e-mails.
Off-network filtering (a spam filter that does its work on the user's computer once a user has downloaded his mail) is done by built-in features of the user's mail client, although add-on filter programs are becoming increasingly popular.

Spam will continue spreading as long as it is profitable.
If noone buys from spammers or acts upon their scams, spam will end.
You can ignore and delete spam emails you receive.
