Depending where these mails originate from, taking the suggested action can have some effect. I use a program called abuse (http://spam-abuse.sourceforge.net/about_us.php). If you give it the header, it will determine the ISP responsible and send a message to them. I tend to make my judgment based upon the country concerned, and I have not taken any action in this case. However, If the ISP is in on it, sending an email could just confirm your email address, and these shoul dbe treated like gold dust.
