It looks to me like;  in the beginning, 216.191.158.153 no rDNS an
allstream user emailed a buncha ilap addresses and must've put your addy
as a bogus From.  The ilap server accepted the mail for delivery and
then bounced the mail it had accepted by creating a newmail addressed to
your addy the From and with the headers of the original item attached.
It also 'declared' the source IP of the original item in the body of its
DSN "The original message was received at Wed, 4 May 2005 13:45:50 -0400
(EDT) from [216.191.158.153]"  That's cute.

But, cute or not, that is abusive behavior on the ilap server's part and
is spamcop reportable.  I'm guessing at the scenario because there's
mungeing pretty much everywhere.
