The spammers are using addresses from bugtraq submissions and other security lists also. Clearly it is to their advantage to harass those of us who are at all active on the security and anti-spam side. It took Verizon months to stop blocking based on spoofed addresses and Barry Shein's "Software Tool & Die" (std.com) is still blocking based on spoofed addresses. It behooves all of us to do our best to block actual spammers and not their spoofed victims.
