Are you saying that Sprint's router's or Sprint's customer's CPU has the 
operational problem?  If it is the former then obviously Sprint should
do something about it.  But it seems to me that the problem is that this site
is Spamming and that mostlikely falls under SAPrint's policies about
Spamming. I don't see how it is a technical or operational problem involving
all of Sprint's Network services.  Perhapse you should contact the operators
of the supposed run amok sendmail and lean directly on them to stop sending
you packets.  You can allways put a filter in your router to block
traffic from that host.  Or maybe you should ask Sprint to apply the filter
on their side of you DSx pipe.
