English term or phrase: e-mail debris
Hola,

Me gustaría saber cómo traducir "e-mail debris" al español; la frase completa es: "Users of the online systems will not knowingly access, upload, download, store, display, distribute or publish any information that propagates chain letters, or other e-mail debris".

"Los usuarios de los sistemas en línea (online) no accederán, subirán, bajarán, almacenarán, visualizarán, distribuirán o publicarán de forma intencionada ninguna información que difunda cartas en cadena, u otro e-mail debris??

Gracias!!!

neutral  Walter Blass: publicity= junk? Sometimes yes./ If referred to the Email content I agree but then the remaining 1% might belong to the less invasive Gmail site.

  -> 99% of the time yes, IMO, but thank you.//I believe you are being deliberately obtuse. The word I used was propaganda, i.e. spam, rubbish, & I believe you fully understand what I meant. Thanks.
