Eskimo is a local ISP here in Seattle. Are you going to reject messages just based on user addresses that are very likely forged? Or is the mail.eskimo.com server actually spamming you? (if so I'd like to know about it)
OT and aside: These Eskimo morons make you run a finger program to connect to their smtp server to allow relaying. When I tried to explain that our mutual client: A had a static IP they could just allow or B) have they tried using POP to auth a user they went unix-geek-bofh on me. They were really unpleasant.
