You can have mail that is bulk but solicited (e.g. this list) - that's not spam. You can have mail that is not bulk but unsolicited (e.g. someone sends you an email because of a typo) - that's not spam either. If someone sends loads of individual mails where the main part of the content is not the same in each (and by content I do NOT mean random text some spammers use) then that's not spam either. Besides - if someone says on their website "send us your CV" then that's solicited. But back to your point - more than 1 email that is substantially the same to someone who did not give permission for it is spam.
