[Mimedefang] spam now a registered trademark for downloadable software by Hormel

[James Ebright]

This refers to thier meat byproduct in a can and is in all caps (SPAM), when
referring to UCE you should only cap the first letter or do it in all lower case.

And yes, SPAM (c)Hormel way pre-dates even ARPANET and Hormel does defend
their trademark fairly religiously (and they should).
