    You just posted their address on the Internet! I give them an hour before they're getting more "samples" and "special offers" than they know what to do with. Some of them may even be from people forwarding them as examples.

    The quickest way is probably to use SpamHaus.org. Go to the site, click on "SBL" at the top and enter the IP address where the spam originated from the the SMTP headers in the appropriate query box. If they've an entry for the IP then they'll probably have all the contact information on the spammer you could possibly need, and if they have a ROKSO (Registry of Known Spam Operators) record as well then that may also include the name of his dog (I kid you not!)
