An alternate theory of origin is that it's actually an acronym, which stands for: Stuff Posing As Mail
Most spammers send their UCE through 'Open Mail Relays'. The SMTP system, used to send email across the Internet, forwards mail from one server to another; mail servers that ISPs run commonly require some form of authentication? that the user is a customer of that ISP. Open relays, however, do not properly check who is using the mail server and pass all mail to the destination address, making it quite a bit harder to track down spammers.
"Official" views on spamming can be found in [RFC 2635].
