I've been getting a fair number of emails lately with a
FROM: MAILER-DAEMON
Why is this happening?  Is it a problem w/ my ISP? or is it a new way
to ensure that the spam gets into my mailbox?

Spammers are probably figuring out that procmail and other mail programs  
don't bounce MAILER-DAEMON messages and are therefore using them to try and  
beat spam-traps.

Of course the t-1net.com should throw it right in the junkbox.

(NOTE: whois lists their domain as 'on hold')
