I'm afraid there's not a lot that can be done about it. What probably has
happened is that the spammer has found a brain-dead mail relayer, that doesn't
check the validity of the return address. So the mail message says:
 From: nice.guy at i.am.not.a.spammer , but the message itself comes from:
 spam.generator.devil.org [666.666.666.666]

As long as such relayers are around, there's not a lot that can be done.
Mailing the spammed site that they've been abused might raise awareness,
but they're usually already inundated by complaints......
