Reporting spam is useful only if the recipient of your report can analyze the full headers of the spam email you received. If you don't know how to show full headers of an email in the email client or web mail application you are using, you can find instructions for a large number of programs and applications on this helpful page: How to Get Full Headers in Your Software. (The WHO@ site has more helpful information you may want to look at.)
Reporting addresses are organized by type of spam.
Note that country is specified only when that is part of the criteria for reporting to the email address given; the country code is mentioned in the same column: if a spam contains a phone number, that makes it easier to recognize which country it relates to (some countries share a country code). If no country is mentioned, origin of spam and origin of reporter don't play a role in reporting. When a web site has content in English those pages are referenced here.
Some organizations prefer reporting through a web-based form or provide no other mechanism; with a few exceptions you'll find them mentioned here only if they also have an email address for reporting spam.

Additions and corrections are welcomed. Please provide a reference to a web page or other evidence that the owner of the email address actually wants to receive spam reports; also specify reporting criteria when known. Reporting spam to an address that isn't set up to handle that particular type of spam will hinder rather than help!
