Weird email...

I'm wondering if there is any clever way to send an email back to the server shown in the email header - my last spam of this type had the following header:

Received: from 095160159124.dynamic-ra-12.vectranet.pl (095160159124.dynamic-ra-12.vectranet.pl [95.160.159.124])

That's almost certainly an exploited computer on the end of a DSL connection being used to send out the spam. There's no email address to send to and trying to connect to the IP address will achieve nothing, it's probably been reassigned and the person who owns the exploited computer likely has no idea they were sending it out.

JoeS95 you’re not the only one to get messaged this weekend. I got the same email today ... BUT ... mine stated $781 in bitcoin! They must have thought I was a bigger pervert. Anyone who screenshot my most visited sites would be bored to tears unless they too have an obsession with Christmas crochet patterns on Pinterest.

Had this same message on 10th Dec except asking for $771. I do hope no-one fell for such an extortion/blackmail scam.
