Host names can be forged. Determining the point of origin of some spam is not as easy as it seems.

ISPs can trace it anyway, provided each hop will cooperate.

That's the rub! So many refuse citing the privacy of their clients. Only an FBI warrant will get them to cooperate. Not all are like this, but a good many are.
