unsolicited mail

Postal spam arrives

Unsolicited mail is mail you didn't ask for—advertisements, catalogs, credit card offers, and other promotional material that arrives without request.

The term covers both physical junk mail and unwanted email (spam).

My mailbox is always stuffed with unsolicited mail.

The phrase emphasizes the receiver's lack of consent.
