Thanks.  I did a search and found out the ip address is registered by
ARIN (*AMERICAN* Registry), but the address is:

OrgName:    Beyond The Network America, Inc.
OrgID:      BNA-42
Address:    520 Herndon Parkway
Address:    Suite E
City:       Herndon
StateProv:  VA
PostalCode: 20170
Country:    US

But whois says:

Registrant:
PCCW-HKT DataCom Services Limited
   39/F PCCW Tower, Taikoo Place
   979 King's Rd
   Quarry Bay, Hong Kong 0
---------

In any case 206.161.x.x is blocked.

BTW, he did *another* spam after you cleaned it out.
