No. I think we can all (most) agree that spam-email is like junk-snailmail. In that case there are a few things to consider:
1. Junkmail requires the SENDER to pay for it, not the recipient. Internet pricing models are complicated and debatable, but you surely end up paying for snail-junk-mail. Not directly, but hidden in the high first-class mail costs. More mail, more infrastructure, higher costs. This could be quite true for the net also, if we consider bandwidth costs money.
