Every time you "just hit delete", the spammer wins another battle.

Every time the spammer gets an order and he DOESN'T pay for it with
   100 complaints and another lost ISP account, he wins a WAR.

Please don't give up. Learn how to read headers and send complaints
to each and every ISP this scumbag uses. Spend some time on some
mainstream anti-spam sites to learn the best response:

   http://www.abuse.net
   http://spam.abuse.net
   http://www.cauce.org

Having said that, I feel compelled to add that further discussion
of this spamming incident should be kept to private email.
