You can spoof just about any email in the world and send out- also have the reply address different than the displayed address. This mail list program might be capable of changing smtp servers on a whim – and maybe even the return to email address to keep the list going. It is possible the program is in one location and they are using a relay to send out and can easily switch relays as well. It is also possible that the relay can be changed so as to re-route the emails fairly easily as well (although many smtp resources are limited by the amount of email you can send out in a given day).

It is fairly easy to keep this type of abuse going with resources that are not being regulated.

I have seen this once before, but it was an inadvertent situation which eventually was rectified (infinite email loops) by changing if the mail list allowed for responses.

But I do believe the spam has died down… so hopefully it is gone for good.

As a domain & hosting provider, I’m realy miffed with this guy,
I’m trying my damdest not to reply to some of those abusive responses,
but it’s ‘a challenge’.
Hopefuly I’ve set things up to at least minimise the pain,
