Spammer uses his botnet of zombie machines to send email from each of them 
to his own domain using the user's legitimate email address as From:. 
Spammer says it was unsolicited and keeps the full $.10/email that victim 
users have deposited into this escrow thing.

Sounds a lot more profitable than regular spam.
