It looks like some stupid piece of virus scanning software for Exchange
adds advertising spam trailers onto every outgoing message.  I can't
figure out who's server uses Exchange though.

attglobal.net uses an RS6000 running some (I think) home grown mail
server.

i386.net appears to be using qpsmtpd, a perl front-end to qmail (which
is what I use at home) that does spam filtering.

It could be that there are hops in the path that aren't apparent from
looking at the email addresses.  It might be fun to inform the Exchange
using folks that their virus scanning program is adding advertising spam
to the end of all their outgoing messages.

Hmmm...
