Chalkychalk.com et al are Bizland customers. Bizland-inc.com, aka bizland.com, aka prontomail.com, aka click2site.com has a long history of spam on behalf of various customers. You can complain to Bizland's ISP, however, given the large volume and multiple incidents this ISP has not responded to it is likely they have a "pink contract" which permits the spam to continue. Bizland's ISP is Exodus, not known for AUP enforcement. The only real way to filter this spam, assuming you don't subscribe to ORBS (a cure which can sometimes be worse than the disease) is to add these domains (and netblocks) to your local sendmail/procmail/... filters.
