Takes more time, but in the long run, if everyone did this, well, it would totally destroy the cost/benefit ratio for spammers.
I do this religiously, using SpamCop...
Trouble is, virtually all the pharmacy/porn sites are either on Brazilian or Chinese servers..... they have abuse addresses to send reports to, but in reality the mails either bounce, as the mailboxes are full as they never get read, or they just ignore them..... it's as if they dont give a monkeys what happens, providing the bill gets paid!
As for the emails, they just adopt "Spam & Run tactics", often spamming & moving on to another ISP before any abuse gets reported.
I have resorted to doing a WHOIS on the domain name, and if any info is found to be false, taking it up with the registrar... at least the site gets pulled, if only to pop up elsewhere a day or so later.
Ho Hum!
