What to do if you find that you did business with a spammer?

Recently I got spam E-mail advertising service provided by a company
(which I'll leave nameless for now), with whom I almost subcontracted
few months ago to do a project for them.

This raises the following questions of principle:
Suppose you do subcontract work for a company.  Then you find that you
and other people got spam from that same company.
1. Would this tarnish your own reputation by your being associated with
the spammer?
2. Assuming that you do not mind the loss of contracted for payment,
what is involved in stopping work for them immediately?
3. If you are employee of a company which turns out to be spammer, can
you resign and demand severance pay (your employment conditions
deteriorated because your neighbors and friends are upset with you)?

It seems that future contracts would need to contain a clause promising
that neither side would engage in spamming, even if they are not
directly related to Internet service provision.
