I will probably be telling nonsense, since you know this kind of thing
better than I, but to me it seems that this spam managed to succesfully
cloak its real origin. The spam detection program then went down the
list of computers the mail was said to have passed, and identified the
first identifiable IP on that list as the origin, which was the
Wikipedia mail server.
