    Send them an e-mail telling them they have won $1,000,000 and you need
    their name and address.

    P.S. We just went through this too and there is basically nothing. We
    started blocking mail from that address, but they can just get another
    one if they are really persistent. We changed the person's e-mail
    address also, from John.Smith to John.X.Smith or something like that too
    for external mail. About all you can do is get the police or FBI
    involved. Sorry.

    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?
