The two posts from Duane, that I found, was sendt from "***.dsl.mindspring.com" while the spam was sendt from "88.253.250.161" (.ttnet.net.tr - Turkey) via the same SMTP server, using Earthlinks webmail. (According to headers.) So it appears that Duane doesn't have a compromised system after all, as Florian suggested. Oh well. Like they say, shit happens to good people too. :-)=
And perhaps more incentive to GPG-sign mails by default... you're less likely to get labelled a spammer when suddenly someone decides to start sending mails in your name :-)
