Some of spam is definitely being forged - the actual percentage varies depending on whom you ask (although someone like BrightMail might provide some real-world statistics). We should be looking at ways on dealing with it anyway regardless whether its the majority of spam. So whether it is a majority or not is irrelevant - but stopping forging will not solve the spam problem.
