At one time, SpamCop provided a service to parse spam e-mail headers and
anonymously contact the ultimate sender's ISP. Not sure if SpamCop
still provides this service or even still exists.
Their service was more useful back in the days when spammers didn't use
zombies since SpamCop also provided a RBL for those who wouldn't stop
spamming. These days SpamCop can't blacklist someone like AOL so the
best thing that happens is the ISP blocks outbound port 25 traffic from
the zombie which just means the spammer moves to their next zombie.
I see a handful of these from time to time. Nothing as severe as what
you're seeing. Just bounces in my inbox of e-mails I didn't send.

Yeah, Spamcop still exists. I also have several people using my domain name for
sending their spam. My ISP says that it is a common practice (email spoofing)
and they won't punish me in any way for it. I get about 500 bounces a day and
just have them automatically rejected via spam assassin.
