I'm just wondering who benefits from junk email or spam? Companies I know that use spam blockers, block about 85% of all incoming email as spam.

EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT! of ALL incoming email is SPAM.

Surely, SOMEONE must get something out of it, or they would not do it.

Ima freak and never appriciate any type of advertising. I never look at anything until I want it, then I do my research and get what I want - not what they want to sell me. I'm the worst consumer ever, and bad for America probably

Anywho, one spammer I know put it this way: "It costs me nothing, ZERO to send email to 1 million people. If just ONE of them responds, and I make $100, that's 100 more in sales than I would have had"

It just seems too fruitless. Especially these ones with no message, no subject, no real address, no link, no nothing... but those prove the email exists and then it gets on a list to be sold

I delete it all, though I do scan it at times to ensure the filters are working

yeah me too.. though there are lots of anti spam stuff out there

spamassassin is good if you need something to control the flow for your home based mail. I tend to use web based mail for most things these days as they filter most spam and are totally portable

I don't even open any of it anymore...burn it, delete it, rip it to shreds or pass it along to someone you don't really like...
