I agree. FWIW, if you have the original message with complete
email headers, it's fairly easy to track down the machine where
it originated. This may still not be the originator of the
message since it could be a relay rape or hijacked account.
If you contact the sysadmin at the originating site, and it was
one of their users, they will mostly likely be more than
happy to dump the user.

If your looking for resources to combat spam in general,
check out http://www.abuse.net

And BTW, the LBC lists on team.net are some of the nicest, spam 
and flame free forums I've participated in.
