We are using qmail, and qmail-inject sets the From field to anonymous if 
USER and LOGNAME aren't set. There are a few valid cases where anonymous 
is used to send me cron messages for this reason.

We've confirmed now that we are not an open relay by doing just this.

I'm 99% sure this is coming from a php script on one of our clients 
accounts, but damn if I can find a match. I've been comparing times in 
the spam headers with the apache access_logs and nothing likely is 
coming up. I'm thinking since I can see the qmail-remote processes in 
ps-aux that I can look for the process ID of the script, then goto the 
/proc directory and look at the environment file and see what directory 
the script is being called from. I'm a little new to everything in the 
/proc dir though, so I'm not seeing the environment file anywhere.
