Mr. Van Kesteren, just to make the point, my wife uses Hotmail. If you log in to your Hotmail account and you look at the spam folder, that will give you an idea of the amount of spam coming in. For every message she receives, she's probably getting 20 spam messages. It's all being filtered out, but somebody has to pay for the cost of storage. Somebody has to pay for the bandwidth, and that all gets passed along.
