be very surprised if spammers went to these lengths.


Uh, and all the stock pump-and-dump scams, 419 scams, pyramid schemes,
etc. aren't also *very* illegal?  Breaking the law doesn't seem to
bother many spammers and I don't see how using a spam-worm as a tool
would bother them any more than using stolen credit cards to sign up
for ISPs.
