[lug] email mystery

I'm trying to figure out how some of the spam email gets to me. The full
headers don't show me anywhere in the path, although it does show the
email servers from my ISP. The ISP uses a mix of Linux and NT boxes. Is
there some sort of mass email feature to allow sending to everyone at
some domain? Here is a sample full header I got:
