I think it’s more likely that email is one of the biggest vectors of spam and 
malware and it’s unmaintained MTAs that end up being used to generate a lot of 
bogus email. On top of that, a lot of ISPs are blocking outbound port 25 so 
MTAs in a default configuration can’t deliver mail off the host anymore anyway.
