The email contains terrible text and shows that it was sent by me --- which is not true. How can I stop this imposter from sending emails to me?

I was able to extract the following information on the sender:

IP: 139.255.66.35 Decimal: 2348761635 Hostname: ln-static-139-255-66-35.link.net.id ASN: 9905 ISP: FirstMedia Organization: Linknet Services: None detected Type: Broadband Assignment: Static IP Blacklist: Continent: Asia Country: Indonesia id flag State/Region: Jakarta City: Jakarta Latitude: -6.1744 (6° 10′ 27.84″ S) Longitude: 106.8294 (106° 49′ 45.84″ E)

This person is threating installation of a virus on my system, unless I pay him/her in a large number of bitcoins. How can this sender be blocked from sending email, or blacklisted?

This is identical to your other topic here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1247622 So I will close this. I have no intention of fielding duplicate questions from the same person.
