It may count for them but not for me. If I get spam it is just as annoying
regardless of whether 1000000 copies were sent out or if mine was the only
one. An ISP is of course concerned with large volume of messages. But it is,
I think, a mistake to look for one precise and correct definition of spam.
It's like a supreme court judge said about pornography, I can't define it
but I know it when I see it.
