Matt Wright FormMail Attacks

Morning,
 
just found "Matt Wright FormMail Attacks" as number 5 in 'Top Five' on
aris.securityfocus.com. 
I've sent dozens of alerts to ISPs about formmail.pl incidents but still
having the probes from the same subnets (addresses) for few months already.
Looks like people are not serious about this probe. Is anybody know why
number of formmail.pl attacks is growing? May be it is a part of SPAM
toolkit or some very popular tool?
