IIRC, you can't file a complaint, you have to get your ISP to do it.  As 
David said, the law is pretty much worthless.

There is a reason why the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup participants 
call it the "You Can Spam" law.

Fortunately the law specifically does NOT put any limitations on the 
blocking of unwanted emails.  I have my email on an in-house server and I 
have very aggressive blocking.  See 
http://www.ke9nr.net/blocks/  Particularly note the number of iSeries / 
AS/400 vendors on the Email by Sender blocklist.  Since most totally bogus 
spam has forged sender information, I primarily block by IP address, either 
in the mail software, or at the router.  But for "legitimate" senders, I 
also block by sender.
