SecureServer.net is GoDaddy.

If you have domains hosted at GoDaddy or a reseller, your customer 
notifications come from that domain.

They also do web and email hosting, which is probably why you're seeing 
the abusive behavior, but they do have a working abuse desk, so if you see 
stuff from there, definitely report it.
