Complaining about a sponsor being advertised in spam is just the wrong place to complain if you want the emails to stop coming.

You've never dealt with spammers have you? For the current host they have, they'll have a dozen more ready to go in hours. Its easier to cut off their income than terminate their hosting operation.
