I don't think you'll even get anywhere with them even if you find an 
email address to send your abuse complaint to.

 The box thats hitting you has probably been exploited or is running 
something badly configured anyway, my Postfix server is being hit by an 
IP in a subnet close to that one thats hitting you that appears to be an 
Open Proxy.

I'm currently seeing how much spam I can catch with Postfix on my Linux 
box at the moment - accept all mail to anywhere and place it into the 
hold queue.  I caught 1 message this morning that was probably the 
spammer testing to see if the email made it through and I manually 
allowed that email to be delivered.  As of the last couple of hours I've 
had a couple of hundred emails delivered to my mail server from the same 
IP address that are all spam.
