One of our managers is getting spam that appears to be sent from him to him
and therefore can't be added to the blocked sender's list.  How can this be
remedied and is there larger damage being done that we don't know about?

Check the header of the mail item. It'll probably show that it came from the
outside world from either a spammer or someone infected with some virus. I
get emails from myself all the time because of those things.

The header shows it comes from him.  Now what?  Thanks.

Does any of the other info in the header like the server path it took

The full Internet header (shown in the Options dialog - right click on a
mail item and choose Options) should have stuff like this in it:

Received: from breeze.mail-list.com ([64.241.105.8])
       by mail.someplace.com (ISP Mail 3.0) with ESMTP id BIG38540
       for <vince@omegageek.com>; Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:52:14 -0400
