Now we're being spammed by morons!!

OMG!!! I'm being spammed by an idiot now. While it does fall under the "forged header" category (which means I can sue for $$$), he's not selling anything (which means I can't sue, I think).

Anyways, following is the header and body of the message after it passed through SpamAssassin. The message purported to be from rickisok@bahn.de but actually originated from a originated from an IP address belonging to the Department of Social Security of UK!!! (Methinks that someone is testing a Jeem or SoBig worm-compromised system within the GB.)

For those of you new to reading message headers, you read the "Received" lines from the bottom up (for chronological order). I can vouch for anything generated by cox.net as being legit.
