It's interesting that this ramdomization increases the CPU load on the spammer end too; I wonder if it's done at the bot at some earlier stage.
If it isn't, yet, it will soon IF it seems to the spammer to be working. And you just (finally?) nailed why any form of "anti-spam" that depends on making sending Email "harder" for the spammer will fail, because their botnets will outscale any "reasonable" such limitations that can ever be applied to any other Email sender...
