in <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3634572.stm> we see:

   Campaigners against spam on the internet have won a major battle
   against the world's second largest internet service provider.

   US firm Savvis was allegedly earning up to $2 million a month from
   148 of the world's worst spammers, a former employee had claimed.

   Following talks with anti-spam groups, Savvis has now promised to get
   rid of the spammers using its network.

   ...

i guess this is progress.  the press keeps bleating about stopping spam
from being received -- perhaps if they start paying attention to how it
gets sent and how many supposedly-legitimate businesses profit from the
sending, there could be some flattening of the spam growth curve.
