SpamCop is a capable online tool that facilitates and almost automates the process. Spam Punisher tries to be a SpamCop for the desktop. It looks for IP addresses in Received: header lines, finds forged ones, and lets you send complaints to suggested email addresses.
Unfortunately, Spam Punisher's parsing is far less sophisticated than SpamCop's, it doesn't take the body into account, and querying abuse.net for the proper address for complaints would be nice, too. Unless SpamCop is busy or unavailable, it is the better solution.
