          (InterMail vM.6.01.04.04 201-2131-118-104-20050224) with ESMTP
          id <20051107201930.VIUE20429.priv-edtnes...den.paypal.com>
The bolded text is the sending mail server. Obviously yours won't say paypal.com but check a few of them and see if they are from the same server. If they are then it may be worth your while to email owner of the domain and report the spam. If it says "blahblah.blah.ISP.COM" then there usually is a corresponding email address like [email protected] that you can forward the email to.

PM me if you need help.
Even easier - if you follow the link they give it gets you here:
http://36-218.getthewave.com:81/conf...cmd=_login-run

Find out who runs getthewave.com and have their ISP crawl up their a..es with an investigation...
