Another mail header from Keith below.
The headers seem like someone simply resend messages from SMTP with
no control by substituting headers (or even by simple forwarding service).

Notable things in the header:

Received: from smtp-gw4.mailanyone.net (smtp-gwalt4.mailanyone.net [69.31.1.237])
   --- One address, many emails from it (maybe all?)
       mailanyone.net is part of FuseMail

X-FuseMail-Forward: 1
   --- Evidence of forwarding?

X-FuseMail-FwdBy: 170066
   --- ID of someone/something? (same number in others)

Why not to figure out what is this ID and tell to FuseMail support team?
At least they'll close this thread.
