How can I get headers from a trapped message.

How can I get headers from a trapped message.
Wed, 02 Jan 2008 08:50:26 -050
One of my ip's is blocked and hitting a trap several
times a day. I need a set of headers to track down the
source, as the ip is NATed to the whole office.

Write to deputies@admin.spamcop.net and include your IP in the subject 
line. We will provide some limited information on what we are seeing and 
the reason for the listing.

HP has a .pdf on tightening the lockdown on its thin clients
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00595181.pdf    Thin Client Virus

There are some other .pdf/s on this page

Even tho' that sez 't5710' it is actually a t57x0 page.

I tracked the spam to a Compaq T5720 thin client device.
It has no hard drive and runs on "Embedded XP".
I thought these thin clients were immune to hacking.
The ip's were firewall blocked but; it was powered
down long enough to loose its DHCP lease
and it powered up unblocked. It runs as a non-privileged user.

I guess some well known MS vulnerability was exploited via IS.
Since the OS runs from NVRAM no MS updates are applied.

I will have to flash the NVRAM to kill the exploit; maybe
there is an updated Win XP available from Compaq for
the T5720.

In the future I will set up permanent DHCP leases for
  these thin client devices.
