The sources for these messages are invariably hacked systems and the webhosting boxes are hacked too. Network admins around the world rely on Spamhaus to reject connections from compromised and spam/scam friendly networks.
Spamhaus have the contacts and the clout to get those fixed, they also have the ability to find the _real_ sources behind the scams.
