Way high.
Define reach. Hit the disk or eyeball? Sorry if I'm behind here.
I think MORE reaches people.
Hits the eyeball, since disks don't buy stuff.
We'd have to get good estimate from someplace like AOL.
Also, a lot of place block at the IP level, so the spam never gets in
to the spambox in the first place.

I think a lot depends on what your provider or company does
and who your upstream is although no blocking is taking place
at tier 1 as far as I am aware.
I'm not up on local provider methods anymore, but I'd think AOL
vs. Hotmail would be interesting.
