Hello, I am trying to identify the actual sender of this message so that I set a filter on that domain/ip address, this spamer is killing me, which one is the sender here?

I replaced my emails with [this_is_me], my mail setup is like this: email address is [this_is_me]@example.com and it gets forwarded to [this_is_me]@gmail.com.

Any help is appreciated, I get about 20 messages from this same slamer each day.
Thank you.
- Adrian.

The sender's SMTP server introduced itself as '130.187.166.181'. On a properly configured SMTP server that would not be an IP address, it would be a domain.

Look back at the headers of some of your other spams and see if they have all come from that IP.

Thank you, I didnt find more form same IP.
I thought I will be able to do a search for that ip in all my Gmail emails and after that set a filter for it. But I see the Gmail search function only sarches for subject, message, not headers too.
That would have been a nice Gmail feature, to be able to filter senders like that.

The only Received header that is reliable is the one added by your own SMTP server when it received the email. All of the others can be fake.

That "report-username", "statistics-username", "quote-username", "company event-username", "research report-username", "hot quotes-username","new account-username", "portfolio alert-username", "income-username", "fidelity-username", "income detail-username", "fresh quotes-username", "income statement-username", "financial blogs-username", "account-username", "analyst coverage-username", "portfolio updates-username", spam is getting quite frequent. My spam filter has thrown them all away so far.

Others to watch out for are the ones about "weather", those with a random .pdf filename in the subject line, and any supposedly sent by a bank.

Random pdf file name attached, that is what I get lately, I hate them. I see you are getting it too, I guess this is one of those big spam campaigns :(
Jail for spam sounds fair to me.

The .pdf stuff is a nasty virus. Installs a lot of hidden stuff in windows.
