I had a problem with being inundated with SPAM for a week or so before finding out something to do - I traced the email back to the access point and sent an email to abuse@<accessprovidersdomain.whatever>. I included the full email along with the headers, and whatever information I used to trace it to that access provider - within a day I stopped receiving 99% of the spam I'd been receiving - most of them were coming from uu.net at that point in time.
