Giving you a 99.99998% chance of receiving more spam from them.

Complain to their ISP, and their ISP's ISP.  This spam appears to come
from a Compuserve (now AOL) dialup.  The karri.southwest.com.au line is
either bogus or an hijacked relay: why would someone in Australia want
to advertise for a company here in Atlanta?  The From: line is bogus,
the Message-ID has been cloaked, and the reply-to line is also bogus.
See why spammers are held in the same wide regard that child molesters,
pond scum, and cockroaches are?

Anyway, Birth^H^H^H^HBenchmark Printing Supply is a notorious spammer,
and they will spam whomever whenever and whereever.  Call them up, or
better yet, go to the store *in person* and bitch them out, saying one
or more of the following things:
  * spam is trespassing
  * spam is not guaranteed (ie, spam != free speech) by the First Amendment
  * spam is theft of resources
  * you were stealing property from the State of Georgia
  * you used a State of Georgia computer without authorization
  * I am definitely supporting Rep. Chris Smith's anti-spam bill now (HR
    1748)

Imply that they are now guilty of at least three crimes (trespass,
theft, and use of state equipment for personal gain).

You're not holding your breath, are you?
