eats our bandwidth
And if you're an access ISP with a mail service, you're going to be receiving that spam email, and not being able to charge your end users for downloading it :-) I'm not sure that bandwidth is a reason for spam filtering, unless you're a really big mail provider or something. "Because users want it" is a much better reason. Does anyone have actual stats of what sort of percentage of their traffic is spam? I don't really have any easy way to get that right now, unless I make my mail server output message size stats in to log files, or something. I'm curious as to whether anyone else has an easy way to get it that I'm missing. -- Nathan Ward
