A favorite sport among many people is spammer hunting. It begins when you receive a piece of spam in the mail. Instead of deleting it, spam hunters track down who sent it, and take action, usually resulting in a loss of account for the spammer.
To find out the spam source, check out the Whois database.
If the address is hosted at a legitimate provider such as yahoo, google, they usually have a team to address violation of their terms of usage such as spamming, and you can fill the response forms at their web site to report the problem. They will often close the account.
If the address is part of a larger site like a community home page site, then you can complain to that site's administrators -- they will often close the user's account.
