I've been looking at some of the spam I've been getting;
I've changed some of the info here so I don't upset anybody.

From this info, could I assume that the email started from hotmail to pbi.net (pac bell?), went thru aol, then to somesiteXYZ, then to yahoo, and then to my site? Do they (marketers) really relay mail that much?

Nope.

pbi.net -> hotmail which relayed it to -> aol -> somesiteXYZ -> yahoo.com

Yes, they relay email a lot.
