[Mimedefang] [OT] Nasty situation

Hi,

A spammer has recently sent out lots of really nasty XXX messages with
the From: address set to some_random_user at roaringpenguin.com.  I know
this because I'm seeing the bounces.

The original messages appear to have been relayed from all over the place --
Philipines, the US, China, etc.  Obviously, someone got a list of open
relays or open proxies. :-(

Anyone have practical tips on tracking the culprit down?  Does anyone
have any idea what my legal options are?

Regards,

David.
