so let me break this down
1. whitehat methods work, but the overhead is absolutely stupid dumb. However, its nice to have isps and datacenters backing you when push comes to shove. Keep in mind for a huge drop you need to have your mailbox, which tunnels through to a /27 or greater CIDR to keep those ips off the RBLs and your IP reputation in good standings with the big email companies.
2. blackhat mailing is a real bitch. Contact mailing, finding insecure tell a friend scripts, dealing with the big 3 of the webmail clients, accounts, proxies, filter evasion. the headache involved in doin the work is one thing. Coding the shit is a whole different beast in itself. talk about old shit gets old. I know a few people involved in this and they come and go as fast as the 24 year old virgin that got to fuck britney skye.(EDIT: get a 2 pump chumper from her, dont think he actually got to fuck her.)
See, the ideal mailing setup would involve a list that youve built over a lengthy period, demographically seperated(females from males, US from Foreign, age groups, etc) Targeted data, not General Internet.
If you have a 40 million email list of data that youve broken down, cleaned, deduped, cleaned again, removed hard/soft bounces/dead accounts/old accounts/tracked who opened and who didnt, you stand a good chance at making a decent living off it.
If youre a broke back mailing like 95% of the people in the mailing industry hitting general internet, youll fail and fail more times than the internet and your success will depend solely on your methods and how long they live.
tl;dr:
Is there money in spamming? fuck yes. If done right. Inbox is an art, it takes time, and knowledge. you dont just jump into it and get rich overnight. as is true with anything
