You could open a reporting account at SpamCop.net, and carefully redirect certain spam messages to their service (via email). SpamCop then generates an abuse report. After SpamCop receives your report, they send you (the configured email address there) a confirmation mail, which has to be handled by you manually, or by a robot (like spamcup). When confirmed, they send abuse-reports on your behalf. If you want to automate this, it needs some scripting (and automating it may be against SpamCop's policy), but it can be done. Automatic system works quite well, if you can be sure not to post false positives there. Abuse reporting is not SA's job, but it's a job well done by SpamCop.net
