In fairness, most spam is small, but sent in bulk.  Also, getting access
to the internet in Nigeria is almost definitely very expensive.  I'd say
he's legit, especially providing that much info in his .sig ;)

PS: regarding SpamCatcher v SpamAssassin -- I don't know about
SpamCatcher, but I do know that SpamAssassin is very effective,
and (ta-da) free software ;)
