  Send a copy of the message to abuse@iname.com. They appear to take
spam quite seriously, and have a fairly agressive stance against it.
Here's a section of the FAQ at www.mindless.com:

       HOW CAN I HELP STOP SPAMMING?

     Description:
     How can I help stop spamming?
     Solution:
     The best way to stop spammers is to immediately
     alert us of abuse of our service. This enables us to
     terminate spammers` accounts before they
     receive responses to their emails. This stops
     spammers from profiting at the expense of the
     Internet community. If you have received what
     you consider is a `spam` please send a copy of the
     email (with the email header intact) to
     abuse@iname.com. We will investigate each
     occurrence of unsolicited email and act quickly to
     stop this abusive behavior.

     If we determine that a spamming has occurred
     from one of our users we will suspend the service
     of the account in question to prevent further
     unauthorized activity. Confirmation of violations
     will result in termination of the account and
     criminal prosecution will be taken wherever
     possible against any abuse of the our service,
     infrastructure or customers. When appropriate,
     we refer spamming activity to the proper legal
     authorities including the Federal Bureau of
     Investigation`s Computer Crime Unit. Interfering
     with an Internet Service Provider is a Federal
     Crime.
