1. Create a fake e-mail address (on Hotmail, by example)
2. Be the member of Firewalls @
 greatcircle .
 com and many more targets.
3. Sent the spam with HotMail as source address.

I think the best way is to reject some well-know domains, like netvigator.com.
This is what i do in my mail program. I deny all the subject containing "FREE",
"SEX" or "XXX" :-)
