So far only speculation. Search back in the CU digest archives for some months ago. An ISP in Texas (Zilker Internet Park I believe) had a spammer use one of their client's address as the source of the spam. The deluge of complaints crashed their mail server. They in turn identified, sued and won against the spammer (whether for "forgery" or because of the crash I don't at this point remember). AOL has also successfully sued one of the US spammers for spamming AOL.
