Spam from a PC in ​microsoft.​com domain

I got a spam from a PC in a microsoft.com domain: http://www.foolsdesign.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39 , attached screenshot and the IP is "168.62.164.169". No idea where to report it, probably an infected machine.

There aren't any IE6 / WinXP machines in the Microsoft domain, but if you're really worried, you can always report problems to secure@microsoft.com who will be able to investigate it for you.

Bear in mind that there is a lot of traffic that comes out of the Microsoft allocated IP address range - much of which didn't originate from Microsoft (for example, Hotmail users != Microsoft even though Hotmail = Microsoft. Similarly Windows Azure users != Microsoft even though Windows Azure = Microsoft).

and do not forget that the IP may be spoofed. 

It's funny because we get a lot of spam from foolsdesign.

If you want, I can easily send a FBI.gov spam from a Linux server. After all, most of the free spam sites are using Apaches, they don't want to spend money for this kind of service.

It's actually pretty hard to spoof an IP address in a TCP connection, because you need to be able to reply to packets sent back to that IP address. It's possible (for example if you've pwned a router), but's really not as trivial as spoofing the "sender" on an email for instance.
