I don't get it. My contacts list is completely empty now, and I changed my password since then. Judging by this part of the header in the PM you sent me...

The spammer most likely had to be using a cached copy of the contacts, and this time it was delivered by his own e-mail server (likely a bot located at the University of Illinois at Chicago and routed through a Mexican ISP) attempting to spoof my e-mail address but failing at many of the attempts due to a fake Sender Permitted Form (SPF), which is attached to the domain name as a list of e-mail servers that are allowed to send mail as them. My e-mail address
has not been hacked again. It is just the same moron trying to use his own e-mail server. If it hasn't been already, his e-mail server will be blocked by all the major ISPs for not having an SPF at AOL (or Yahoo!, or Google, or Microsoft, or anyone else for whom he's attempting to spoof an e-mail address).
In a completely unrelated incident, I personally
had trouble with the Sender Permitted Form right after the server move, as I forgot to tell the domain name server that "floatzel.net" is a permitted sender for VR's e-mail. Hotmail quickly blocked it because one of its spam filter providers didn't like me sending e-mails with the wrong SPF and wrong hostname on the machine.
In addition to the above, I received a large number of bounce messages from Orange France (that's an ISP):
