Anybody know where I can find a reprint of the Mark 8 article? A good
web-ized version would do the trick.

earthlink.net is one of the better anti-spam ISPs. They were one of the
first to win a lawsuit against a spammer. For details, see
        http://www.earthlink.net/nethelp/spam/

What you are seeing are most likely forged headers, an almost universal
practice among spammers. If you can, take a minute to look at the real
headers to track down the offending site. It is often an unsuspecting site
that left their mail server open to be used as a spam relay. I've had
good success in getting sites to close up these relays, get spammers to
lose their accounts with the originating ISP, and even get entire ISPs
shut-down (at least temporarily) by their upstream ISP. Try it -- it's a
fun and rewarding hobby :-)
