Oh, yes they scan the spam reports.  When my ISP introduced
spamassassin, they added an internal hop and that server had a
distinctive name.  Soon after that was the name in the From line.
That's why some people mung the other addresses in the cc line.  I
still don't think that it is an 'in your face' kind of thing.  They
have to get new addresses from somewhere.  Selling mailing lists is
where some spammers get their money.
