In the past year, I believe most of my spam has arrived from the 
"zombie" network of compromised Windows systems.  Which means, that it 
wouldn't be the actual spammers paying an outgoing surcharge.

(But, on the other hand, having to pay money because of what their 
infected system spewed might get people to move to a more secure OS.  
All right!  Bring it on!)
