Now that you are in the source, you can see which "open relay" the
spammer originated from. Unfortunately there really isn't too much any
one person can do about it. You could try to contact
{postmaster,abuse,root}@originating.server.tld
That is; send an email to postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx, abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx, ...
and tell them to lock down their mail machine.
Hopefully one of them will get through and the owner will oblige.
Best of luck, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Yes that is rather
pessimistic, but also realistic.
