Chip,
I think you are right. One of my jobs at work is email administration, and
the spammers are so tricky that we should never believe where they claim to be
sending from. AOL has been helpful to me when dealing with spammers.

Most of those dirty e-mails and commercial spam we get from AOL addresses are
forged. If you are an AOL subscriber and get the full header you can find
where they actually come from. It's buried deep in the header but if you read
far enough it's usually hotmail, juno or something.
I might also suggest that when you get them from an AOL address, highlight the
entire e-mail and forward it to these two addresses:
tosemail1(a)aol.com
tosspam(a)aol.com
AOL is very interested in stopping these people and are prosecuting them very
often. Sending it to abuse(a)aol.com gets you a computer generated reply, and
I've wondered if anyone actually reads them.
