IIRC, there has been one or two full-on spams sent to CRIME, and several more posts of people forwarding spam here to ask questions. IMHO, the spam questions are marginally off-topic for CRIME. Generic spam discussion belongs elsewhere (see http://www.cauce.org/ for resources). The part of the question that is marginally relevant here is the criminal aspect. Many spams contain various outright illegal solicitations (stock pump & dump scams, the famous Nigerian/etc. money laundering scam, plain old chain letter/Ponzi schemes, child porn, etc.) Would any of the law enforcement folks on this list have info on how to introduce these charming characters to their local law enforcement?
