I'll paste below the contents of the files John sent.  To me, it
appears to be a Viagra ad coming from a host in Spain, with a link to
a website in Russia.  What we're trying to determine is whether (1)
Tux has been compromised by crackers and is being exploited as a spam
relay, (2) we are receiving this message in error because Tux' mail
server has been configured to relay Board messages, and the error was
intended for the spammer, or (3) something went awry with Google's
Gmail servers.  Note, 204.225.221.10 is Tux' IP.

Thanks,
Lisa
