The question is not whether or not bandwidth costs money, but whether --
for an ISP, which presumably has a whole lot of non-email traffic,
which you KNOW because your ssh session always slows down when the guy
in the next apartment over starts using Kazaa -- the cost of the traffic
used by spam is a significant part of the total bandwidth cost.
For us, spam costs a high percentage of our bandwidth, because most of
said bandwith is used for email. I don't know if that's true for a
typical ISP, with home users and so on.
