The marginal cost of sending bulk spam is the opportunity cost of the botnet.
$1 a message is a one followed by the zeros you get from your cat playing with the zero key times more expensive than bulk spam.
- Retric 14y agoThat's far from accurage. Let's use some vary pessimistic estimates. 183 billion spam messages a day * 1% make it to inbox / 10,000 people world wide making spam / 5$ per person per day = 36,600 messages dollar. Which need to be vary garbled to make it though the inbox so they tend to be instantly ignored by most people. PS: I have seen more detailed estimates that suggest each read spam message costs .1c to 10c depending on how targeted the campaign is.
