First you get all of the spam from addresses. I did that by exporting
from Thunderbird to text files, and then using grep to grab all of the
"From:" lines. Then I massaged the data in gnumeric, to pull unique
"foo@bar.baz". I have 43 so far, and 65% are Gmail.

In Thunderbird, one can create a filter on Inbox that selects messages
by from address, forwards them somewhere, and then puts them wherever
you like, or deletes them. So you configure a filter for each one, and
forward messages to the appropriate abuse address.
