I'm ashamed to say that for the first time ever, spam has been generated from 
my network. All of our outbound mail is routed through Google / Postini, and 
they cut us off last night after detecting it. I'm mortified.

What I'm needing help with is tracking down the source. I can see who the 
message claims to be from, and Postini tech support thinks her account really 
is the source (I assumed the "From:" address had been forged). But even if her 
account really is the source, I need to know what machine generated the traffic 
so that I can see what's running on it.

To be honest, I'm not sure how to do that. My weakness with Exchange is 
showing. I thought maybe the message tracking tool, which I've used to find 
some of the messages, but I can't see the originating IP address in there. Some 
of the entries say "2002:96b0:25ac::96b0:25ac" for the ClientIP. I don't know 
what that is.

Any pointers?
