Did Fedex Get Owned?

We have been getting hammered with spam emails from

Received: from prh00393.prod.fedex.com (prh00393.prod.fedex.com

[199.81.10.49]) by mx22.infosec.fedex.com (FedEx MX) with SMTP id

81.MD.55510.XCX3W0TL; Tue, 7 Aug 2012 15:17:39 +0100

Which looks to be a valid SMTP server at fedex.

Anybody else seeing anything like that?

After further research they may all be spoofed, but from the looks of the header it looks like they are spoofing the message and boucing it off of fedex's SMTP servers. This may all be a spoof, but from our end it is hard to tell. It's also hard to block because we use FEDEX. I tried a few rules that hopefully won't also block valid emails, but we will see.

All IP's seem legit. If the body of the email was complete spam though, you might want to notify their abuse department. Try calling +1-901-263-4898 or emailing dns-admin@network.fedex.com and letting them know of the spam. Its more than likely forged, but not entirely impossible that they left an open mail relay up for sending mail without authentication on one of their servers, or like you said, they got pwned and had their shit attacked. If more customers are getting the same spam, chances are one of their databases got whacked too, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about it in the news.
