A Spambot is a piece of software, a program that someone has written. Which language it was written in does not matter, but most are probably written in C for speed and portability reasons. A spambot should not be confused with regular robots, also known as spiders or web-crawlers.
A spambot starts out on a web page. It scans the page for two things: hyperlinks and email addresses. Most spambots are a part of a larger program, allowing them to send out the spam to email addresses as it find them. Others merely store the email addresses for later use.

1. The spammer usually puts in a fake address, and some poor soul ends up recieving a lot of angry email about spam that they never sent.
2. The account may have already been cancelled, due to the vigilant efforts of a spam hunter.
3. The spammer probably has filters in any case, so that they will not receive spam from other spammers.
