As part of our abuse response policy we will and do send copies of the offending
emails to customers. However, because of federal laws we cannot provide the
information to anyone but the account holder. We can not and will not send the
information to a consultant. If anyone ever needs this type of information
please ping me and I will work to get the data needed.

See if Cox can send you one of the SPAM messages. EVen though it's
probably behind a NAT device, the private IP may still be in the mail
headers.

What kind of router is it? We may be able to give more pointers if we
know what you're working with...
