I didn't put much thought into catching the perpetrator.  I don't have much
to go on.  I did a brief trace on the line.  It looked like messages were
outbound to a server at "client.ce.news.psi.net".

One interesting thing is that my server still opens a connection to the SMTP
port (25) at fix.your.open.relay.or.die.net.  Only about 100 bytes of data
have been transmitted during the past hour.
