For particular classes of email (unwelcome recruiters, people soliciting me directly that I know I didn't give permission to, stuff without an obvious "unsubscribe" or unsubscribe that doesn't work) I go to the trouble of reporting to their email providers which I find via the link below. I do get responses from the other end often enough and if enough complaints get in they'll start getting blacklisted.

Even that is difficult as in most cases providers will accept a "we removed this user" or "no, we never email anyone who hasn't opted in, promise" and come back and tell you they've dealt with it. The only way to actually get rid of it is to mark it as spam and hope enough other people do too that your provider starts treating it as spam for everyone.
