Hey Sleazy,
From what my programmers say, it's not something you're likely to be able to do from the emails themselves. They have taken your account and are mailng through it, no way of tracing it back that they can see...

BUT.. it depends on what they're spamming.. if it's just viruses then they're obviously not selling anything so there's no avenue to follow there, but if they're trying to sell something too, you might be able to track them through that.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you're probably just going to be left with a lot of frustration and killer lagtime on your email, in fact, you may have to cancel that email account if it's too much.

Perhaps get in touch with your ISP and see if they can block it somehow...

Sorry couldn't be of more help =)
