I've got a hint:

1) You can pursue it with various ISPs.  If you choose the 
latter, I can fairly confidently say that any provider, upon 
reviewing the emails in question & seeing that your own posts hit 
the web unobfuscated, will laugh at you and consider your 
complaints a blathering annoyance spawned by your ineptitude. 
Mine did when you griped to them.  They'll do it again.

2) you can take the advice of just about everybody in this thread 
and surrender the issue, finding better ways to deal with it than 
publicly displaying your nincompoopery.  Several constructive 
suggestions have been given, and I'll add a few:  find a better 
spam filter (I use Thunderbird's); use list-specific mailing 
addresses; use a truly obfuscated email such as 
"nobody at nowhere.invalid"; read via a spam-filtering source (gmane 
did a pretty good job until fairly recently); use a white-list 
for senders you actually care to read (I suspect I won't make the 
cut...no skin off my back).
