Essentially no spam comes from juno.com itself, but a great deal of spam is _forged_ to look like it came from juno.com (or hotmail.com, or aol.com, or several other popular domains) but is sent through other systems. The web-based interfaces for juno.com and hotmail.com make spamming through them rather difficult, and those domains do have a good record of dealing with not just the few spammers who spam from them, but even the accounts of spammers who try to use juno.com or hotmail.com mailboxes for reply addresses.
Rule #1 of tracing spams: Don't even bother looking at the From: header. These days it's always forged.
