After going through this personnally a few years ago, at this point I
involved the police.  The detective's office was great about obtaining
search warrants on the system where the e-mails originated to deteremine
who was sending the messages.  The sender was found and eventually ended
up in jail.

Good luck.

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?
