But did you report it? (If so, it helps if you state so).

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?track=63.170.35.94 -> looks like abuse goes to
the spammer... A whois gives sprint.net, so you could contact abuse at
sprint.net (see: http://whois.domaintools.com/63.170.35.94 )

[snip address etc.]
Spammers don't care about that. Best course of action, based on my
experience, is to contact abuse at googlegroups.com (now and then it
actually works), and sprint.net.
