I am pretty sure that MOST, if not all, Chinese and Korean ISP's hosting
spamvertizing forward ALL complaints they don't simply devnull to their
spammers. And the spammers also construct bogus headers from the internal
routings they see in the headers of reported spam, so the fakes are getting
better all the time. Enough to fool many a human doing a simplistic "parse",
so far not quite enough to fool SC.

I agree about the munging, my point is simply that neither the spam, nor the
report will have any references to either of C @ D, or E @ F. , which is
what the OP implied. Remember the spam was sent to A @ B.
