| Joe Job |

1. A "joe job" is a spam run forged to appear to come from another innocent party, with the intention of generating complaints about the victim and damaging their reputation.
2. A Joe job is an e-mail spam designed to tarnish the reputation of an innocent third party. Despite having existed since at least 1996, Joe jobs are uncommon compared to other types of spam because they provide no commercial benefit to the Joe jobber.
3. A "joe job" is something far above and distinct from the all too typical spammer construct of a "From" Address Forgery
