Not having carefully examined the headers carefully myself, it simply means 
mail SC wants to report to EL about as being sent from their space, or, on 
occasion, mail whose source EL has asked to be notified about. Wether we are 
talking about Zombies with their own smtp engine (Direct2MX), spammy 
clients, or spammy users sending through EL's own servers I can't say, as I 
don't know. My guess is the first option. I rarely get "legitimate" spam for 
some values of legitmate, so I doubt it was the second.

Thare may be occasional spamvertized sites, but I don't recall any recently.
