I wouldn't take that as proof. What about the possibility that the
spammer is sorting by ISP? (Doesn't make a lot of sense to me - too many
identical messages hitting an ISP at one time could raise red flags at
the ISP.)


Could also be what I've seen referred to as "dictionary attacks" which
are apparently "let's try this combination of letters and see if it
works".
