If you happen to live in the country where the spam originates and if
that country happens to have decent anti-spam laws, you might help to
fight spam at its roots by reporting it to the network owner and/or take
legal action.

[The trace of the mail can be seen in the full header. 'whois' and a bit
of general knowledge will tell you the owner (usually also the abuse
e-mail) of the IP, that sent the spam out. In this particular case, the
IP is 72.52.77.20 and it appears to come from Bangalore, India.]
