You can usually find out what mail server originally sent the e-mail, but that won't help you, because it is usually an open relay at some organization or ISP that isn't actually responsible for the spam. Of course, you could then e-mail postmaster@<whateverthemailserveris> and let them know the server is being used for spam, tell them to secure it, and if they don't, submit the mail server address to the Realtime Black List. Unfortunately, there is no way to track down a spammer who is even halfway competent.

Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do about spam. Thanks to PC virii like Klez, the sender's address is usually spoofed, so you can not be certain whether to take the address in which this spam was received at face value.
