Re: Christmas spam from RESERVED IANA adressblock ?

Lots of networks use RFC1918 space _internally_, as iispp.com obviously does between their webmail server and their SMTP relay. It's no more suspicious than your own ISP's use of 10.0.1 between their MX and the mailstore to which your message was delivered. Recognizing this is pretty basic to reading SMTP headers.
