Yes, but to no avail.

Spammers register and jump ISPs before their bots can be shut down. At
least the ones who know what they are doing do so. The vast majority
of spam comes from very advanced spammers.

Just don't respond is the best tactic. If you want to do something,
forward the header to the BlackList or some other org like that. Wiki
the topic for more info if you or anyone else wants to know more.
Seems off-topic for this list at this point.

Thomas
