I'd set up a pretty aggressive program of bayesian analysis and whitelist/blacklisting, so I already had a significant reduction in spam from a month ago. Your writeups will help people a lot. Thanks. One little note, in mailwashXX.pair.com, XX can be a single digit number, too, as it is in my case... I think I need to give it a day to play out.

An email to support at pair.com was all it took for them to confirm the problem and fix it manually.
