Same email, wildly different IP

I just submitted the following spammer:

69.86.238.137   
SalfiepaletaH   
zpljkbwslxxopnnrksistodvknkb@gmail.com

The IP was completely new to the database, but the email address, if you search, is used by a bunch of completely different IPa and countries.  What's up?

Re: Same email, wildly different IP

it's a botnet no doubt,

for some of these guys, getting new IP addresses is alot easier than getting new e-mail addresses .

You will see this happen a lot as they change their details regularily to try avoid being detected and denied access from websites and forums.
