Hi, we had a similar problem about two months ago.  Carefully
examinination of the sendmail logs combined with web server logs showed
that it was probable the person was using Netscape on a Window's box to
fake email (this is quite easy with web browsers).  We also traced the
connection to a university in Canada.  Anyway, we reported the incident to
postmaster at that university and we recieved a reply a few days later
saying that they had apprehended the abuser.  The point is... check your
logs and send out a few friendly letters and you might be able to find the
guy (or gal).
