WHAT!
quitting $DAYJOB to concentrate on spamming, now!

Steve,

I thought you knew this already? I didn't tell you??
A spammer once offered me KES to setup a mail server for him and I did and it was more for the fun of it - getting to meet a confessed spammer, to understand his business, how the money came in, etc than anything else. It's the only time I met a spammer face to face and he quantified for me how what I always thought was a bother in my INBOX actually turned out to be real money to others.  
spam has money, no denying that, otherwise you'd not be receiving spam in the first place. You think those folks have nothing to do?
 Better quit your day job fast:)
