Multiply that by a minum wage of 5.25 per hour, and that's $43750 wasted if you save an average our is worth the minimun wage.

$43750 in time wasted for 10,000,000 spam emails (based on these numbers)

I think it's worthy of jail time.
People routinely embezzle much larger amounts of money than that and serve no time.
