It does make sense. The spammer does fake a "To" address, say
"null at bitbucket.kr". It's a known bad address. He or she then places the
desired recipient in the "from" address, so that it bounces back to the
"from" address. Or at least that's how I interpret what was happening on
our machine. We've got all relays closed down hard. We had to call our
upstream, who then shut these 4 networks off.
