They didn't all come from the same IP address. The guy is obviously in
control of a botnet. See my post on "home-made problems" in today's
summary on why it caused us these problems yesterday.

As for the spammer: It's the well-known poker spammer. You can find
information about him all over the net. Or simply check your webserver's
logfile for all those fake referrers containing "poker" and the usual mix
of pharmacy products ...

Here's just one link to get you started:
