Yes, not all ;-)
http://spamcop.net has a useful 'track down the sender' facility within
its spam reporting service (gets past forged headers and the like) - or
you could do it the hard way and wander through the message headers
yourself. Some viri were munging the headers so you shouldn't take them
at face value (spamcop.net saves you a bit of work).
Of course I also use spamcop.net as it is fully intended and get my own
little buzz from parsing my spam through its service and having it send
the reports back up the line to try and get accounts closed, etc.
