What does the word "Ham" mean, in the context of anti-spam?

Nowadays, it's likely that everyone knows what Spam means, in the context of e-mail. The use of the word Ham: It is an email that is not Spam. In other words, "non-spam", or "good mail". It should be considered a shorter, snappier synonym for "non-spam". Its usage is particularly common among anti-spam software developers, and not widely known elsewhere; in general it is probably better to use the term "non-spam", instead. By detecting unsolicited and unwanted emails, we can prevent spam messages from creeping into the user’s inbox, thereby improving user experience.
