Also keep in mind that if the spammer has gotten into the account and
is able to send out messages s/he has probably changed that password
to something more complex, thus denying the original email account
holder access to their own account. Messages sent to the account will
then go to the spammer, not the intended recipient whose account has
been hacked.
