A smart spammer could, for each target domain a.com, grab the contents of
http://www.a.com and spike that domain's spam with the words from the
page, which would make great decoy words.

I imagine this would be most effective against companies, but even
private isp clients may be susceptible. This could take a long time to run,
so the spammer could maintain a database of domains and decoy words which is
infrequently updated.

I am definitely less sanguine than you are.
