A compilation of email addresses generated without a specific target or recipient in mind constitutes a collection of arbitrary electronic mail contacts. For example, this could be a file containing addresses scraped from various websites or created through automated generation techniques.
The utilization of such address compilations carries potential risks and limited utility. Data privacy concerns arise from the unsolicited nature of communications sent to these addresses. Historically, these collections have been associated with spam campaigns and potentially malicious activities, diminishing their practical benefit for legitimate communication purposes. Furthermore, the lack of specific targeting makes the return on investment for marketing endeavors utilizing these lists negligible.
