So who else got the unsolicited

If you don't opt out, you are not being spammed. If they don't offer a way to not get any more emails, and they email again, they are a spammer. This does not hold for email sent by bots and virus spammers, etc. But that stuff will usually get caught by diligent anti-spam filters and you should know the difference. These are examples of unsolicited emails, but that does not equal spam, yet.
