Email spoofing (pretendinh it was you who sent it) / SPAM and SCAM trojan phishing is rife. My own domain has been scanned and I'm getting hostage/ extortion emails. Luckily I can 'dispose' of these.
Every one [of these emails] should be sent (with full headers exposed) to the FTC care of 'spam_at_uce.gov'.
u-c-e for the novice is the acronym for UNsolicited Commercial Email. (They do not respond by the way- this is simply a 'collector' address).
Trashing and bouncing at the mail system IS the most effective control. Banning the IP of the sender ISP should be considered to avoid having to deal with the emails at all.
