I agree with you. You are NOT the spammer.
I did not report you but I did post (in error) your headers as the
spammer here (only in this newsgroup) and I was mistaken and APOLOGIZE
for my haste. Others have already pointed that out that you are NOT
the spammer so you should not have a problem. I can't speak for all
ISP's but if you were reported, usually they will warn you before just
terminating your access and that's assuming they even care. Some ISPs
just ignor the requests (actually I think more ISPs ignor it
regardless if they tell you to report it and where) so the odds are
very good you're safe.

The correct headers for the watch spammer should be.......

Just after I posted this, I see another spam from the watch guy
(assuming it's the same guy; I didn't compare headers). Oh well
such is life.
