The sender's ISP is a good first step (check the headers in the email, use 
tracert if you can't figure out where it came from, ping can also be 
helpful). The US Federal Trade Commission also accepts complaints at 
uce@ftc.gov, although they don't do much unless there's a LOT of 
complaints, but if you CC the spammer, it may get his attention.
