No, that is not the spammer. That was faked. You can submit an
arbitrary sequence of characters in the greeting line when
connecting to a mail server.

No, that is the sender address. The mail server is mail.pcc.edu.cn
(211.65.116.10), Pengcheng College, Xuzhou, Jiangsu,221008, China.

Forward the entire mail to <abuse@blueyonder.co.uk>
