I think the Earthlink header is a red-herring, it is a fake one, probably
generated by the spammer's software.

I think the sucker's coming through Prodigy from a dialup in splitrock.net. 
Splitrock must be a customer of Prodigy's and they have access to Prodigy's
SMTP server because of that.

Complain to both Prodigy and Splitrock.

This header is probably genuine, having to relation whatsoever with the
previous one. I'm a bit surprised they still run 8.8.5 though.

Faked. This Sendmail versions signature is a common point in several spamware.
