Just to chime in a bit, this is NOT where the message is from.

Looks like the injection point was off of uunet.net (they run a LOT
of modems, not surprising), and the first relay was mach3ww.com.

I would suggest complaining to:
abuse@uunet.net, postmaster@uunet.net, mach3@MACH3WW.COM,
abuse@mach3ww.com

I would guess you'd get no reponse from mach3ww.com, but that's where
I'd start.

If you would like more info about reading headers like this, take a
look at the links page off my lawsuit page (URL in sig).
