i don't think that was the point he was getting at, spam emails without removes and ones who spam the same addresses over and over without honoring removes are more likely to have their landing pages DDOS'ed. the more complaints a sponsor gets, the more likely you are to be termed. most sponsors demand that you download their remove list and clean your lists against it before you send.

in todays modern world, it doesn't really cost the end user anything. sure there are some countries in eastern europe that still pay by the meg or minute or whatever but who would mail them anyhow? they are poor.

do you have any idea how much money spam assassin guys have made off spam? not to mention all the other kinds of filters and shit to block spam, its a million dollar industry in itself.
