Richard Clayton posts on the Univ of Cambridge Blog about his analysis of Demon Internet spam traffic vs. non-spam traffic and concludes that most spam comes from a few gangs. Interesting article here: http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2007/04/03/there-arent-that-many-serious-spammers-any-more/
Spamhaus maintained a list of top spammers, and I don't think their list ever got much bigger than "these 200 are responsible for 85% of the spam". There of course are a lot of chickenboners out there, but they hardly matter in the greater scheme of things.
