To my mind , in general there are 3 "spammers"

1) There is the gang/person that delivers spam somehow as a service, I think
of them as "spammer"

2)There is the spamvertizer, who may be the same as 1 or a client of 1

3)there is the "owner" of the injecting machinery

Then there are of course all kinds of willing accomplices,  Most egregious
are the registrars, second are black hat hosters.
