I think it's beyond that, depending on how it gets counted. One, for example,
could consider spamming attempts that get rejected before despatch. Over
here, port 25 is blocked for everything but the single mail server. Reason?
Campus zombies. The matter of fact is that the level of spam can (and
already has) take(n) down the server/s. What's more, a higher amount of
spendings (hardware) is requires. A lot of the world's energy is spent
handling and processing binary garbage. This happens to include crawling of
scam Web sites.
