Spammers never use an email address belonging to them. They usually use another address randomly chosen from their "subscription" list. So complaining to the apparent sender or their ISP is just causing more spam related resource waste - mostly yours in this case. You really need to check the headers in very careful detail to see where the message originated, and even then, you're likely to get some disagreement from the admin responsible. It may be that the actual source is a trojaned winbox or an open relay, and you won't always get much headway in either case. Check with your ISP to see if they handle abuse reports regarding spam originating outside their network. Usually they don't, but if they do, they'll track down the originator and fight the battle themselves.
