Maybe some ISPs have anti-spam policies in place that cover misuse by their account holders.

I'm sure you're right, but the problem you have is that what you're receiving is not the spam, but the bounced messages of email addresses that do not exist, so that email originates from the spammed server, not from the spammer themselves.
Even if you could trace the source of the original email, you'd probably find that it was sent from a hijacked PC and/or uses a false IP address to cover the tracks.
I don't know about 'your' messages but the ones I'm supposed to be sending seem to all be these strange stocks and shares messages that try and encourage buying of certain shares. As they are not sent by the company mentioned in the message and there's no click to sign up to some website or another, it's very difficult to find the originators.
And even if you did find them, chances are they'd be in China or Russia or some other country with no anti-spam laws.
