Personally I believe that the best thing to do is to RBL those ISPs that 
support this kind of activity.

I've tried complaining about them. After I complain I get more 419 from 
the same server. At that point I blacklist the server. Typically it's a 
corporate or ISP mail host.

I am of the opinion that we need to pressure those who support this kind 
of abuse and RBL type blacklists are the only effective tool in that 
battle.
