the way to do it is to view all headers ( in kmail anyway) 
view-headers-all
then look for the first IP in brackets before the words HELO, like your 
message:
Received: from [195.135.221.131] ([195.135.221.131]:38920 "HELO 
lists.suse.com")
        by lmg17.affinity.com with SMTP id S460265AbWECEuV;

then go to Arin's WHOIS:
http://www.arin.net/whois/

and plug it in and see who the owner is:
in your case it shows as a RIPE  site ( European), so you have to go to 
the RIPE whois site:
http://www.ripe.net/whois
in the case of this list, the owner is suse.de:
person:          Christian Deckelmann
address:         SuSE Linux AG
address:         Deutschherrenstrasse 15-19
address:         D-90429 Nuernberg
phone:           +49 911 74053-0
fax-no:          +49 911 7417755
e-mail:          hostmaster@xxxxxxx

but normally there will be an ABUSE site listed for a domain, and you 
can send them an email, and if you live in the US you can also copy 
the federal abuse site:  "uce@ftc. gov" <uce@xxxxxxx>
