New spam technique?

[Guest]

The Outlook 2003 spam filters work quite well for me. Recently I have been
getting a lot of hits from one spammer that are getting through. The message
header looks like this:
"
Return-path: <[email protected]>
Envelope-to: (e-mail address removed)
Delivery-date: Thu, 08 Mar 2007 08:32:18 -0700
Received: from [68.184.135.217] (helo=68-184-135-217.dhcp.stbr.ga.charter.com)
by server15.01domain.net with smtp (Exim 4.63)
(envelope-from <[email protected]>)
id 1HPKbE-0006LX-G5
for (e-mail address removed); Thu, 08 Mar 2007 08:32:18 -0700
To: (e-mail address removed)
"

It looks like he is forging me as the sender. The content is relatively
benign so far but I would hate to see this get out of hand.

Make sure that your own address is *not* in the safe senders list.

I am not in "safe senders" or "blocked senders' either. I assume that the
sender's IP address is forged, too. I get a funny redirection when I try to
run Whois on it.

Make sure that your own address is *not* in the safe senders list.
