Is this the EXACT text (less the quote > marks)? If so, it looks Imail
is  munging  two  copies  of  the  same message together upon receipt.
Whether  this is the result of a deliberate hack or some badly written
spam-blaster is not clear.

Let  us  know if that's a straight cut-and-paste from MAIN.MBX. If so,
it's not something seen before and is need of prompt research.

I would not yet worry that he has relayed through your server; this is
stil  locally  addressed mail. The problem would appear to be that the
sending  IP is not properly added to the Received: header, making such
messages  completely  untraceable  (if  receiving  MTAs cooperate with
RFCs,  the  last Received: is the only piece of reliable information).
Note  that  looking  up  sport158.com  is  useless--the EHLO is easily
forged.
