spam?), it would help me or any other researcher.

The WHOIS listing provided above shows who handles incoming emails for
the domain, however, to find out who actually sent the email you would
need to check out the headers of an actual email sent.

If you're ISP allows (as one I use does) then a validated user can
send mail FROM any domain name. The headers should trace back to the
original sender unless they've been tampered with.

A quick google search for EMAIL HEADERS gave me this site
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html

Some good explanations it looks like.
