Hi MDean,
cc ctm-users@freebsd.org

The header of the 2nd spam shows mx1.freebsd.org received spam Not
from att.net but from que11.charter.net so "Lawrence Auster"
<lawrence.auster@att.net> is likely an innocent who had his address
masqueraded by a spammer.

Not much use writing to whole list anyway, we don't have power to
block persistent spammers from freebsd.org lists, if some other
time you have a similar request send it to postmaster@freebsd.org

	( There's also another similar address goes to a team
	@freebsd.org, I can't remember whatever@ off hand, you can
	look on http://freebsd.org but postmaster@ is an RFC
	requirement, & works )

Even better is to examine header, & report spammer to the
domain owner, if you think domain owner might not also be a spammer.
(use a web browser on domains in header to decide that),
and ensure you forward whole spam including whole header,
in this case to
	postmaster@charter.net

Cheers,
Julian
