Annoying Spam Problem



Hi All,

I have a really big problem, somehow a spamer in Turkey has been sending out
email broadcasts (mainly to turkey) looking for female employee's for some
sort of female prostituting / movie business.  The mail headers state that
the spam is coming from: ihlas.net, ihlas.net.tr, mailhub.ihlas.com.tr,
cougar.ihlas.net.tr

The Problem:
The reply address, and the undeliverable mail is being sent to snp at snp.com
-- my company!!!! (Don't flame me, but we do Microsoft, Novell, Cisco, and
Linux work)  I have the feeling that this was an arbitrary decision, made by
whoever the spamer is.  

That mailbox (snp at snp.com) was our general mailbox, for the whole company.
You can  imagine our surprise when we came tuesday morning to find 450
undelivered pieces of porn spam in everyone's mailbox.  Luckily my boss has
a pretty good sense of humor.  

Is there anything we can do??! (Relaying isn't turned on.)

Jon

ps We now have over 5000 mails in the snp at snp.com box
