Ouch, seriously?  In my opinion, if it goes over the network it's an IDS issue.  Sometimes it's incredible how many 
little, seemingly inconsequential bits of information will add up over time to mean something much different and much 
more important.  Maybe the remote IP address sending spam doesn't mean much for an incident response team by itself, 
but if that IP address logs into some local box over SSH that would be worth looking into.
