I don't understand the technology used by the spammers (their tools are not Open Source!), how they can use a simple robot to post spam from apparently different IPs.
I believe much of the variance in spammer IP addresses is that they're using Windows "zombies" from all over the Internet. Essentially, there are countless Windows computers attached to the Internet that are infected with a virus or trojan that gives the spammer full access to the computer, and spammers then use these servers to do many things including sending and posting spam.
