Only end recipients, not gateways or ISPs, look at content, so only the end
recipients have to be fooled into thinking it's not spam. Therefore spammers
put their efforts into making spam look like something end recipients would
trust: personal one-to-one email.
If they have to make their spam look like the distributions of legitimate
subscription lists to get the MTAs' blessing and like personal correspondence
to get the end recipients' eyes, they may find a way. Spammers may be stupid,
but nobody ever said they weren't cunning.
