The rogue IP is nearly in the same town as me. I was hoping with the new
anti-spam laws there might be some kind of recourse. 

Thanks for your suggestions!

Theres probably really very little you can do, especially if the IP is
in another country. If its in a "respectable" country (Europe/America
*ducks*) then you might find reporting them to the upstream ISP might
help, but even thats a bit of a long shot. Can you file some of their
junk mail to somewhere like Spamcop?

If you havent already, you might want to look at publishing a SPF key
in your domain name, at least for a few external companies, that might
stop their junk coming through.
