It is a well known fact that emails are send/received much slower than they used to. The reason for this, as everybody says, is "increased email traffic". The biggest increase of email traffic isn't because more and more people use email, but because of the spam. More then 50% of send emails is spam related these days (it can be spam or replies to spam or the likes), and some studies even say it is 75%...

In other words, despite the fact that you lower yourself to the level of spammers, you activly help to increase the email traffic and thus slowing down the mail servers if you reply to such bullocks, weither it's for revenge, unsubsribing or what not.

And of course you can say, what's 1 mail between billions. Well not much, but the point is that everybody thinks that way and thus that 1 email becomes millions and millions of unneeded strain on mail servers, slowing the legit mails down...
