I think that CGI based webmail would count as a CGI that sends mail . . .

I think that either someone with a Jackmoves Neomail account is sending the 
SPAM, or someone has figured out how to get the neomail.pl CGI to send 
messages without having to log in.  (This wouldn't be surprising.)

BTW, I would seriously consider switching to a webmail that isn't abandoned.  
Who is keeping up with security issues for Neomail?
