There seem to be two classes of email spammers.  The big ones pretend
to be ISPs and then take legal action against their higher level
ISP if there is any attempt to stop them.  Unfortunately more and
more top level ISPs are caving into this and denying all responsibility.
(Sprint and Digex to my knowledge).  This means that the likes of 
CyberPromo and Earthstar tend to have stable addresses, or change
them to defeat end system address filters.

These either represent fixed targets already, or are mutating their
address to circumvent your filter, not because of ISP changes.

The other class is the PC based ones, using the more powerful PC
mailers (in one common case, to the great annoyance of its author).
These people are often already using bogus addresses.
