It's free (though I've given $10 because I would be seriously inconvenienced if it stopped operating). By the way, it is possible to receive spam just by being subscribed to this list. A recent virus/worm/trojan (I can't remember which one specifically) emailed itself not only to everyone in your Microsoft address book, but it searched your internet cache and the text of your entire email database for addresses and emailed itself to them all. I got a couple of hundred virus emails, and shortly after started receiving spam on that email address for the first time.
