This is a solvable problem.  If they're sending unsolicited bulk email
(aka "spam"), then they are, by definition, spammers.  Block them and
move on.  If/when they decide to send proper DMCA notices and send them
to the proper address, perhaps you can then allow them to petition for
the privilege of access to your mail system.
