Email Self-sending spam: help!

While I have been interested in the terrific philosophical discussions
that have been bouncing around this group - reality pulls me back and I
have a call for help.

For some time now, we have had a problem with self-sending spam. I can
only identify the header on the email as:=20

communications_msn_cs_enus@cimail15.msn.com
<20040601144457.3498.qmail@user-0f98c88342

Which means nothing to me. Is there anyone out there who can point me
in the right direction to stop this attack? We are constantly being
blocked as abusive users now and the frustration level is rising...

To run our email we use Windows Server 2003, MS Exchange, Sonicwall
firewall (with port 25 blocked except for the email server), and a tired
tech staff.

We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems. (John Gardner)
