"admail" or "direct mail" Explanation: Those advertising leaflets or letters that are sent to or stuffed into your mailbox. The reference says that recipients think of the as "junk mail":) A single campaign of this sort is often called a "mailshot".

mailbox Explanation: From the context you will need to determine if this is referring to a traditional mailbox or an email inbox. 'BAL' can mean 'boîte aux lettres' or 'boîte aux lettres électronique'. Since there is already a reference to traditional mail in the list of 'sources d'information', perhaps this is referring to email, in which case I would prefer 'inbox'. |
