Hi Sean -

One of mine was to root@ my mail server, so it was not even remotely
legitimate or mined from a list.  Reporting to the "ISP" probably won't do
any good since they are a spamhaus and should just be completely blocked.
I did not report it to stedb.com, I reported to the holder of the IP address and also the holder of macrocomp.com's IP address.

OTOH, I haven't gotten even an automated response back from either place so it may not do any good.

The email I received the spam at is the same email that this is coming from ... mr2087@ my domain, which I use only for the midrange.com mailing lists (that's the meaning of the "mr" at the beginning), so it was mined from the lists one way or another.

It's a throwaway address so if it gets to be a problem, I'll just change it.
