This seems to be an opportune moment to mention that there _are_ ways to
fight spam. Start with
http://spam.abuse.net/
and in particular the 'other sites' link
http://spam.abuse.net/others/sites.html
I've started using a 'donationware' program called Spam Punisher, it's a
long way from perfect but does ease the process of complaining to the
appropriate ISP. It's available at
http://biosolutions.hypermart.net/download.htm
Note that although many pieces of spam say "Reply with Remove in the
subject" or something similar, such efforts are usually counter-productive.
All you've done is demonstrate to the spammer that a person actually reads
spam sent to your address. That makes your email address even more valuable
to spammers, who pay a premium for such 'verified' lists.
