Then tell me, is it a total waste of time for your SpamCop analysis program 
to attempt to correlate IP addresses used by the botnets hosting websites 
that change each hour, and try to match them up against IP addresses that 
send out spam?

If there was some correlation between the two, then I do think it wouldn't 
actually be a waste of time.

If not, or you can't prove that there is some correlation between the two 
without an excessive amount of processing overhead parsing the websites, 
then forget what I said above.
