This was injected at a psi.net dialup. Reason enough to dump it.

Here's that good ole -0600 EST not-so-stealth signature. Are you not
filtering on that? You should. (And oh, those hopeless IP numbers.)

To: freind(_at_)public(_dot_)com

As if that wasn't enough, anything with To:.*\<public.com should go. 

Subject: >> 27 MILLION EMAIL ADDRESSES...PLUS BONUSES!

More than thre words and no lowercase characters? Too bad. 

X-UIDL: 6478789540b74jdi9a321loi771l8f8k 

I don't know about this; I believe you can filter on X-UIDL if you're
not a POP user yourself (but you should apparently not use this as the
sole criterion for a spam reject). 

Comments: Authenticated sender is <mikep(_at_)totuff(_dot_)net>

Do other people than spammers do this "authenticated sender" thing?

     about the only consistent thing about is is the id is
     always an 8 digit number.

Not really. But sure, you can say 

    :0:

Hope this helps,
