Extract of spam.  I leave you to draw your own conclusions about what

  Subject: We Will Send Your E Mail For You

  If you wish to send a message using an E Mail list of almost any size, 
  either on a one time or repetitive basis, we can send your E Mail for 
  you. 

  We have high speed bandwidth, and are our own ISP.  We do not have any 
  restrictions on the size of the E Mail list you can use, nor do we 
  concern ourselves over whether the lists we send for our customers are 
  "opt in" or not; we rely on our customer's discretion.  We can also 
  develop custom E Mail lists for you, should you need them.

If I remember correctly, the "FON" part of the netblock handle at ARIN is
for Sprint.  Perhaps it would be good to contact Sprint and turn these
people in.  I'm sure his upstream provider has an acceptable usage policy,
even if he has a T1 or T3.  Remember "Spamford"?
