I have done this on occasions and it has worked, including one recently 
on my home account. True you do need to be careful and check the headers 
but when the account is legit and there are terrestrial contacts as well 
it is worth a try. Legit businesses use email lists just like they use 
snailmail lists for junkmail. You can always try a complaint to 
postmaster at the replyaddress, I have had this work as well, also 
recently. I didn't get a reply but the egregious spam has dried up. 
Again this only works for some ISP's. Ignoring all spam will not contain 
the problem.
