Even more, the original question from Meng was:
1) How much of your bottom line costs are bandwidth?
2) How much of your bandwidth costs are email?
Depends a lot on who you are talking to. An ISP may find that there are
significant costs in bandwidth and hardware sizing in receiving email.
This may be incidental to a large corporate user who is using their
connections for transferring large amounts of data between various parts
of the company. In my discussions with large companies the bandwidth
loss caused by spam is not really all that much of a problem. There may
be a man hour loss at the user level in getting rid of the spam but,
based on my experience, I'm not all that sure it's considered all that
significant. They are much more worried by the false alarm rate that the
spam rejection causes.
A mail system admins job is to first make sure they process ALL good
mail. Next, and much further down their priority list, is to block spam
at the server level.
The receipt of the spam is not all that much of a cost problem as long as
they can keep it out of the user inbox. Loss of a single request for
quote is much more of a problem.

Thought for the day:
Avoid those abysmally horrible, outrageously repellent exaggerations.
