Some of spam is definitely being forged - the actual percentage varies 
depending on whom you ask (although someone like BrightMail might provide 
some real-world statistics). We should be looking at ways on dealing with 
it anyway regardless whether its the majority of spam. So whether it is a 
majority or not is irrelevant - but stopping forging will not solve the 
spam problem.
