I second that. I do not get much spam for some reason (I got nothing
from Peter Goldman, IIRC, so I don't know if all the addresses have
been harvested from the archives), but sometimes I do. I look at the
headers and try to determine the most upstream non-forged address, and
then send a complaint there (addressed typically to postmaster, abuse,
root).
In my experience it works most of the time. It certainly works with
ISPs. Most ISPs have strict policies regarding spamming. Typically,
theywon't tell you what they will do, or what they have done, but they
do take measures. I don't recall getting spam from any source I
complained about, apart from one case when I was spammed by Geocities
(_sic_, Geocities, not a client of theirs).
A couple of years ago I got spammed in a particularly nasty way by a
Netvision customer. I sent a complaint to Netvision, and to my
surprise got a response within half an hour saying the offender was
blocked. So even in Israel there are chances.
