    The old fashion way is to (in the email) open the headers (full headers, show headers, etc.). The the top of the email will show every step the mail took including all ip addresses, etc. When I get say a spam PayPal I open all the headers then forward THAT copy to them for action.

    The other way is to use Incredimail (spelling). It has a great feature that allows you to bounce the mail back to the sender when it deleates it.
