True. See http://netflow.internet2.edu/weekly/ (the mail category includes all email-related protocols that can be easily identified).

Spam is a huge problem, but the resource it consumes most is human time and attention, but network capacity. In other words, only very indirectly a problem for a backbone operator.

What I find puzzling about this question is that the purported recipients of the answer are operators. Doesn't every operator worth half a bronze bit know how much email consumes in capacity on his network?
