Why would a botnet waste resources by sending tens of thousands of spam

Is it really a spambot or could it be a DDOS attack?
Martin
It is both but not actually. :)
It appears to be a spambot ( botnet ) , and it really isn't enough
traffic to cause DDOS so I really should change the topic header. The
traffic may be 40000 - 100000 emails per day for this email address. I
would think they would try to connect more often to cause a DDOS. It
really isn't a true DDOS since the syn/syn-ack/ack takes place, but
don't quote me on that.
