I forward all emails from the domain I have hosted on Hostgator to another personal email account, and today I received a spam email through these email addresses.

I reported the spam to spamcop.net, however I received this message about the email header:

[code:1:bacb048f3d]67.18.54.31 found
host gator2.hostgator.com (checking ip) ip not found ; gator2.hostgator.com discarded as fake.

It appears that Spamcop couldn't find the (correct) details of the Gator2 nameserver and may now think that spam was being sent from there, when I wasn't doing that.

I don't know what if anything you might need to do about this, but I thought you should know.

It doesn't seem to have done that again since that one occasion, and it had never done it before, so I was and still am pretty stumped about why it did it. I guess i'll just have to keep an eye out and let you know if it happens again.
