Spam from NATO???

I get my fair share of spam, and most of it is adequately removed by SpamAssassin.. however, one got through today that I just thought I might report to the offending domain...

This is part of the message header that was received (some detail removed):

Received: from your-0xv8v0oeap
by 98degreesfans.zzn.com with ASMTP id 9D6BCA80
for <softwaresupport@xxxxxx.com>; Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:51:06 -0000

Message-ID: <000c01c82626$1fc38860$f6bdc75a@your0xv8v0oeap>

Looks like your ordinary spam header... so I checked the originating IP address with dnsstuff.com to find the owner and email the abuse@ email address with the message details..

And this is the contact information:


inetnum: 152.152.0.0 - 152.152.255.255
netname: NATO-HQ
descr: NATO Headquarters
descr: Leopold III ln
descr: 1110 Brussels
country: BE

person: Eddy Vanderstraeten
address: NATO Headquarters
address: 1110 Brussels
address: BE
phone: +32 2 7075150
e-mail: e.vanderstraeten@hq.nato.int

Err... so the NATO Headquarters are sending out spam?????

Is this pretty normal for major organizations? I was under the assumption that if anyone had their act together in antivirus/spam protection it would be them..??

If true...it makes this story all the more funny...
