I didn't mean how much it costs the spammers but just how much of the total internet bandwith is taken by these billions of spams messages sent out daily.
The worst part was mentioned by Al how they hack into sites and servers, computers, email accounts and send their spam from there.
I do my part against it by reporting as much as I can and by using Akistmet, etc on my sites but as long as it is profitable by these people they will continue to do it the same way drug dealers and other criminals do.
