Answer: Statistics, extrapolations and counting by Radicati Group from August 2008 estimate the number of emails sent per day (in 2008) to be around 210 billion.
183 billion messages per day means more than 2 million emails are sent every second. About 70% to 72% of them might be spam and viruses. The genuine emails are sent by around 1.3 billion email users.

So, would you go for a penny/email tax as it would put a dent in 70% of the junk mail and viruses you get everyday? I think these figures are for world wide emails. They are also for 2008. My guess is it would go a long way for paying for great HC.
