mailbombed from very closeto home IP

ok,
I received a mailbomb on a private e-mail account (I and 4others are the only ones
that know it) and it originated from IP 24.221.10.186.

Now, I reviewed my connection logs from the plug meeting (I ssh'edin here to check
something and discovered that they are very similar (the last group of numbers only
being different.).

A traceroute reveals that the machine is located at:
cpe-24-221-10-186.az.sprintbbd.net.

Now this sounds wierd why I am posting it here, but I thought
I would bring it tothe attention of the technical people in here.

is not that IP also located in the same building or service area that the plug mailing lists 
has their fascilities?

makes one wonder....

in any case, might not be a bad idea to look at security onthe boxes we use a little closer.
