Essentially, trace headers back to the originator, forward copies of the spam including headers to the originating ISP and any webhosting providers mentioned in the spam. Weeding out fake headers takes experience. If you're in the US, the FTC has requested that you forward your spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] They're collecting spam and prosecuting false advertising right now, but I believe there are plans to start prosecuting under the fax spam law of 1988 (sending unsolicited advertisements to any device capable of transcribing to paper is a crime in the US. Last I checked, computers are able to do that but nobody's argued it in court yet.). The easy way to find contacts is to use abuse.net. The easiest way to report is to look at spamcop.net, which automates the process (except emailing the FTC). It's a good idea to lurk in nntp://news.spamcop.net/spacop as well.
