That is incorrect, spam has always been a threat and over the last 
couple of years with the more sophisticated methods that spammers use, 
such as sending viruses attached to emails in .zip files, its become 
more of a threat to network operators, and the servers and other devices 
attached to those networks. Which is why you need to spend money on 
solutions to filter out that spam before it even reaches its destination.
Not to mention the issues with compromised php form scripts where you 
run the risk of having entire IP ranges blocked from customers having 
sent thousands of spam emails out through the server, so then you need 
to filter outbound emails as well to avoid threats from both ends.
