Some of the addresses I'm getting spam on were never on my current mail server (they were registered with the sponsor years ago on a now gone server) - mail server being compromised does not explain these spams.

There IS one common thread to virtually all of the sponsors (apparently) involved and even the (apparent) beneficiaries of the spam - the same billing processor seems to keep coming up from both ends.

This may just be an obvious coincidence with such a small number of popular processors out there to start with - or not?

What do you think?

Would it be reasonable (without implying any complicity) to ask the billing processor to officially chime in on this issue and add their perspective to it?
