Sadly that header is most likely worthless :(

These spamming idiots know how to hide themselves :(

Ok thanks, I did try to have a look but I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. It seemed to point back to hotmail which doesn't help a great deal.

Mark it as spam and move ahead.

As an option, you can search for an email host that features a challenge-response system for spam filtering. Most hosts featuring Cpanel have a free feature called box-trapper. Spammers must reply to a "challenge" email to get their message through to you. This spam fighting technique is very effective. The drawback is that for the first month or so, you spend a lot of time manually white-listing folks who cannot figure out how to respond to the challenge email and newsletter type messages you want to receive; for example that victoria secret newsletter ... err I meant snap-on tools catalog!

There is a pay service that does this as well, if you cannot select your email provider. It lets you consolidate up to 5 email accounts into 1 challenge/response mail account. find spam-arrest here

If anyone knows a free alternative to spam-arrest I'm very interested! - thanks

spammers also had done the sam with me still i didnt get any clues ...so best of luck to you..and if you get it ressolved then let me know also..!!!

If you get Yahoo, they have a great spam filter, my friend has it and she's never got spam in her inbox.
