This guy is known to us as the "info@" spammer. He's been spamming from a few 
botnets as well as compromised mta's and webhosts for a while now with various 
mail campaigns. He normally spoofs "i...@live.com" but we've seen him switch to 
other respectable domains as well in order to avoid some of our rules. The 
reason you're getting the DSN but don't see any DSN headers is that he's using 
a RFC 3461 DSN request as part of the rcpt to: during the SMTP transaction, and 
so our mailserver quite helpfully sends out the DSN to his spoofed mail from, 
it's not being generated via a traditional client based return receipt. We're 
working on some changes to try and stomp on the DSN's when we see him 
attempting to go to town and should hopefully have something in production soon.
