Filter out your IP's and replace them with "x.x.x.x".  I believe that was 
mentioned several times.  Then filter out the recipient domain names, replace 
it with example.com.  Then filter out any other internal stuff that will 
identify the machine.

Now, with filter, it doesn't mean remove each line you think is irrelevant, it 
means replacing it with meaningless data that can still be used to identify the 
original intent.

Providing this information doesn't help the spammers at all.

Email is originating from that machine somehow.  It could be an act of religion 
or magic.  As such, the best thing to do in that case is for us to guess, at 
best.

Still, there is little people on this list can do to help you without the 
additional information.
