Absolutely!

Go to the SpamCop website at http://www.spamcop.net and either register
(which is free) or subscribe) which is quite inexpensive).

Then, whenever you receive SPAM, you can copy and paste the headers and text
of the message into the appropriate field on their page, click a button, and
a SPAM complaint will automatically be sent to the appropriate domain and/or
ISP authorities. I started tracking SPAM headers myself in April of 1998,
but switched to SpamCop some time in '99 'cause it's SO much faster and
easier. For a while I was keeping a record of "Spammer Kills" -- that is,
the number of spammers' websites and e-mail accounts that had been shut down
following my reporting them -- but I quit when the tally passed 350.
