If the emails are truly life threatening or if the person "feels that their life is in danger" it is against the law. It is called aggravated menacing and you should defiantly get your local law enforcement officers involved. THIS IS A CRIME. We aren't talking about "spam" or stupid stuff like that. This person can be imprisoned.

Subject: Distressing, possibly life threatening emails from free accounts (yahoo, hotmail

One of our users has received questionable and possibly life threatening emails from a yahoo account that was created recently. They have approached
us to find out as much as we can pertaining to the person sending it.

Of course, we are not YAHOO so we cannot determine anything about the mail
other than the content.

How can we find out who sent this?
