I didn't see anything to suggest that aairlines.bounce.ed10.net was a dangerous email. Just because it is listed as Spam does not make it dangerous. I have emails from American Express, Banana Republic, non-profit organizations, St. Jude, etc.. all going into spam. I wish there was a separate button on mail clients to distinguish "legit spam" from junk/dangerous email spam. I was getting weekly emails from a dealership that I had opted out of that I hit the spam button on, but I believe that is different from the spam of "You have won 10 million in a lottery in the UK and you need to pay the tax to release the winnings."
What was the link that the email tried to send you to? Mine was a link to link.aa.com which would be a legit organization.
Also, even though ed10.net is a legit company, anybody can use it. An Eastern European hacker might be using im.a.hacker.bounce.ed10.net and some email servers will only look at the last 2 (ed10.net) or 3 (bounce.ed10.net) of the domain. They see the hacker and make bounce.ed10.net listed as a spam server and now emails from AA, aairlines.bounce.ed10.net, will be listed as spam when it is not. Email spam filters have gotten better so this shouldn't happen anymore, but I still see it occasionally.
