When you send a complaint (with full headers and all) to reputable
postmasters, don't forget to send a copy to the IRS.

It seems they did a quick study of spammers and found that a lot of them
forgot to report the income they get from their virtual businesses.

So the IRS, everybody's favorite care bears in wingtips, set up an e-mail
list to gather suspects.

net-abuse@nocs.insp.irs.gov

Any info you send will help your favorite spammers the attention they are
craving.
