If you feel like pursuing this, take a look at the Internet mail headers to
find out the originating IP and check it out at www.arin.net/whois - you can
then forward the message (with the full headers copied & pasted in) to their
abuse department.

Usually futile, but I myself get cranky enough to do this from time to
time...

Your posting IP address tells me that you are a Verizon customer, so maybe
these sites have appropriate information:
