Well, you certainly have a spam problem.  Maybe some of the ISP folks
on this list can provide some suggestions how to adopt a proactive
approach to spam from your network.  Personally, I'd just use netflow
data and a few Perl script, but this doesn't fit into all
environments.

A couple of examples:

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=62.139.196.120
http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=84.36.84.50

I even found too example spam messages from your AS in my inbox:
