This is absolutely and dangerously false.
3 years ago we decommissioned two old domains. There wasn't even
an MX for them.
At the time, the two domains were getting 140,000 spams per day.
Almost 2 years later, I turned the domains back on again out of curiousity.
Was the volume zero? Hah.
It was 600,000 per day.
Since then it's spiking at above 6 _million_ per day.
Most power spammer could care less about bandwidth. They're stealing
it, why worry about wasting it?
