One 'holy grail' to hunt for is an algorithm which can:
* parse the Received: headers with enough intelligence to avoid
   spoofed addresses
* determine one or more real IPs of hosts generating or trafficking
   in spam
* perform whois lookups and parse the output
* possibly perform some light port scanning sufficient to gain
   identifying info about the offending box(en)
* determine appropriate addresses for auto-transmitting complaint 
    messages - eg 'abuse at ...' and/or 'postmaster at ...' etc
* sending off the complaints, containing headers and email, plus
   GMT date/time of incident

Anyway, that's my $0.02 worth
