It depends on the company. I believe _some_ clearly know they are hiring a spammer on the grounds that they can deny knowing it. I believe this percentage is rising. There are a few who don't know they are hiring spammers. Trying to figure out which is which is tough. But in this particular case, the correct thing was done by not listing the flower company. Add then to a watch list. If they show up on radar again, launch the stinger!!
Interestingly if they hire a spammer who sends to harvested addresses, they may be legally liable under CAN-SPAM:
