Re: Calling ISPs: does bandwidth matter to your bottom line?

we are getting 93% spam.  Therefore, a week we handle over 210,000 messages
which are pure junk mail.  We eliminated most of it by offloading it to
SpamSlayer's Network.  Now we have saved about 200kbits of steady stream to
be used for co-location.

Could ISPs please weigh in on whether your email/spam bandwidth cost is
signicant or not, thanks.

Yes.

3/4 of the mail we handle is spam.

I'd save at least 1% of my total budget if spam dissapeared, and nearly
20% of my bandwidth budget.
