Shachar, I'm in this business for a loooong time. This is spam from my ISP, advocating 
my ISP's services, and this single piece of header is just the most incriminating one. 
SpamCop-style header analyzers sometime make mistakes when spam mailers add their own 
fake "Received:" lines. I've seen some naaasty tricks.

Nah, it was selling BezeqInt services. Believe me, if I go out accusing someone of 
spamming I am damn sure.

I have the junk fax law here in front of me. The problem is that to do that I need to 
enlist the support of my company and our lawyers, something that they will be 
reluctant to participate in. They'd rather I just delete it.
