I've been spamcopping them when I have time. I don't know if it does any good, but it hunts down and sends emails to the "abuse@" and "webmaster@" (or any of the other various standard complaint channels that check out ot be valid emails), and sometimes even comes up with actual usernames for email addresses and sends a message there, too. If anyone knows anything negative impacting from using spamcop, please let me know. I always wonder if a lot of these schemes aren't to harvest fresh valid email addys.
