I'm not spamming you, really!

Apparently some dipwad spammer is sending junk mail using my domain as the sending address. I'm not quite sure what to do. Right now I'm not getting enough bounces to really hurt, but I'm not happy.

It seems that they're using lots of relay hosts and there doesn't seem to be anything common in the headers.

What's the best way to proceed in this kind of situation? Any recommendations?

A sample:
