Adam,

	You've thought about this more than me.  What do you see as
equilibrium postal rates if the spammers have 10k, 100k, or a million
nodes to send?

        Will spammers run under nice?  Use your graphics card as a
co-processor?  Is the rate of new vulns high enough to keep their CPU
pools filled?
