I'm with James:
Two million messages, assuming 2 seconds time to delete each...
2M * 2s = ~ 47 days of wasted time
Please explain how putting a random person in jail for 47 days just to gain
a few customers is not evil. Spreading that waste around doesn't make it
any less wasteful.
And the above doesn't even consider the theft-of-services angle.
