You might consider forwarding them to
abuse@where-ever-the-spam-originated.from
To determine this, read the full header and/or use "whois". If the mail
originates from a server located in a decent constitutional state, the
owner of the server will take measures against users abusing the server.
Depending on the laws within that country he/she might even be obliged
to take measures to block that account.
The owner of the forged sender's address (papal, Bank etc.) cannot take
any measures themselves to stop mails with forged "From:"-headers.
