I disagree: Spammers, by and large, are agents, like legitimate
advertising agencies, selling their service to businesses seeking to
advertise. These agents don't care about whether anyone actually reads
the spam because they are paid for sending the ads, whether or not
they are delivered or read.

All-out war was threatened because spammers had targetted postmaster
and other admin addresses in the past. The spammers backed off and now
such addresses are generally considered untouchable.
