Hi Pat There have been several good and accurate suggestions. You MUST gather evidence against this guy.These type of people are sick and need help soon. They will only progress to more server stuff if not stopped early. Please do not just try to stop the emails, go to the authorities and demand immediate action. Save all emails and do not delete them. They can be turned over to the investigators. If you choose you can download Ethereal and its manual http://www.ethereal.com/ and its free. Ethereal is a packet sniffer and can be set up to capture ONLY his packets. This can be used to gather a lot of information about the sender, even if he is spoofing his IP address. If you do this, save the packets captured for the investigators. Realize that capturing packets will take a lot of space on your HD for saving them, but in this case it may be well worth it. Add a folder and save the captured packets there if you do this. Do not be surprised at some point the authorities will want to have your HD as physical evidence. You can take his IP Address and go to http://samspade.org/ and enter it into the appropriate place, probably IP Whose. This will give you info also and you might be able to locate his ISP. You probable can complain to they, and if need be send them the emails and captured packet info, and they could do something. But I suggest you let the experienced and proper authorities handle it. Hope this helps. Life is what happens in between plans.
