Not much more than you did by (intelligently) looking at the Received

One of the major sources of spam right now seems to be zombie robot
hosts, hosts who have had a virus injected into them which turns them
into unwitting spam slaves*.

So the spam is being delivered by 123-456-789-123-dsl-pool.telco.com
and guess what it seems to be from xxxdvd@123-456-789-123-dsl-pool.telco.com
who assures you that anything from (don't make me type it again)
is indeed from (I'm just not going to type it again.)

Now what do you know?
