When a spammer shoots out spam, it's not just one or a few messages, it's as many as he can cram on the net before his compromised machines are shut down. Consequently, thousands or millions of people will get the same message. As more and more Gmail users report a particular message as spam, I'm sure Gmail notices and is more likely to score it as spam in other users' mail. Wisdom of the crowd.
