Send them an e-mail telling them they have won $1,000,000 and you need their name and address. JayW 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? _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
