That sounds about right. I really do not understand how people make money from spamming. I know that people make money selling contact information and that spammers buy it, so I assume they are making money off of the spam emails, but I don't know how. Are there people out there that read all their spam mail?

Actually at work I am getting about 97% spam of the incoming mail. We have about 400,000-500,000 incoming e-mails a day. We use IronPort appliance for spam/virus scans.
