They (cyberpromo) are currently embarking on a particular nasty spam at the
moment with variable reply paths and randomize international relay hosts.
Presumably the international hosts are being used to bypass the legal action
against them that happened in the US.

We've thwarted 100s & 100s of attempts and missed a fair few others (sigh).

It is cute that cyberpromo were using earthlink as a relay spam site - given
earthlink's atrocious record on the anti-spam front :>
