An example is at http://www.jellybaby.net/~david/tubespam.txt


LU have their own series of IP addresses, and this example did not
apparently originate from within that range.


LU might have their IP range on the end of a connection that isn't
fast enough to send the number of emails they want to send. It's
very likely that bandwidth to a co-located server is cheaper then
getting a fatter pipe to LU HQ.

Spolling mistooks are usually a good indication that an email is being
spoofed, the question is: why?


I don't think it's spoofed, just badly put together. Most mass
mailings are.
