   Go to iptools.com and do a whois on that IP.   
      
   As others have said - it belongs to someone in russia.   
      
   If you operated your own smtp server (as I do, for the past 13 years) I   
   would advise you to add the entire net-block 77.95.0.0/16 to your   
   server's blocking list.   
      
   I have a general rule of adding the entire /16 netblock for any spam   
   sent to various addresses hosted by our company's server.   
      
   I started with a list of about 8,000 IP subnets located in russia,   
   ukraine, china, south and central america, and add new subnets according   
   to my /16 rule.   
      
   On any given day, our server is rejecting about 250 SMTP connections   
   from various IP's based on this blocking strategy.   
      
   But we still get maybe 1 or 2 spams per day that get through.
