Tony,

Nothing at all in the headers, from SpamBayes that is:

Return-Path: <dhollistervn at optusnet.com.au>

That's what has me stumped.  There doesn't seem to be a clue.  I'm going to 
shut down and save SpamBayes and then shutdown the machine itself around 
mid-night or so and start again in the morning.
