Unfortunately, the damage being done by this is much more than simply the flood of data from the bad packets you are receiving. Your domain name is probably getting put onto the major spam blacklists as a result of this.

It is quite possible that the spammer is sending the e-mails himself from his own mail server. It is not hard to do and there is not really any defense for this unfortunately.
