Yes, but abuse @ whatdomain?
The most reliable information is the IP address from which the spam 
was injected into my system.

h68-146-73-40.cg.shawcable.net:68.146.73.40 rbl-allowed:
    <rosadovs(_at_)9online(_dot_)fr> to <promote(_at_)space(_dot_)net>
Looking up 68.146.73.40 with whois.arin.net is fine:
    OrgAbuseEmail:  internet(_dot_)abuse(_at_)sjrb(_dot_)ca
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's try another one:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
customer-hmo-61-203.megared.net.mx:200.77.61.203 rejected:
    <btkd2mr(_at_)coastalnet(_dot_)com> to <cosmiccard(_at_)space(_dot_)net>

  Comment:  This IP address range is under LACNIC responsibility for further
  Comment:  allocations to users in LACNIC region.
  Comment:  Please see http://www.lacnic.net/ for further details, or check the
  Comment:  WHOIS server located at whois.lacnic.net

At least there is
  ReferralServer: whois://whois.lacnic.net

$ whois -h whois.lacnic.net 200.77.61.203

and now?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LACNIC example also holds for e.g. RIPE and leads to things like:

remarks: ---------------------------------------------------------
remarks: Please send abuse and spam notifications to abuse(_at_)inet(_dot_)fi
remarks: ---------------------------------------------------------

trouble: SPAM/COMPLAINTS to: de-fp-btignite-abuse(_at_)bt(_dot_)com
trouble: SPAM/COMPLAINTS to other addresses will probably be ignored.

remarks: ************************************************************
remarks: * ABUSE CONTACT: abuse(_at_)t-ipnet(_dot_)de IN CASE OF HACK ATTACKS, *
remarks: * ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, VIOLATION, SCANS, PROBES, SPAM, ETC.   *
remarks: ************************************************************

remarks: Please send abuse notification to abuse(_at_)telecomitalia(_dot_)it

(I think you get the idea) while other have no abuse contact at all.
