Go to your ISP and let them know what is going on, let Yahoo know what is happening also and you can also try the State Attorney Generals office as they will sometimes take something like this if it is too bad.  Good luck.

If they are not using there real email I would change email addresses and report the email.(save it and or print it out! You shouldnt be getting threatend. The proper authorities should be able to use there IP address from the computer that is being used!

if you are recieving threats of physical harm, go to your local police precinct and file a complaint.  Bring copies of the email or other documentation with you.  They can advise you of your options.  \n\nIf you can trace the emails or know who they are coming from, you can also advise their internet service provider, as that kind of behavior is usually considered a breach of most provider's Terms of Service.

Sandy, I went back and read some of your 1300+++ answers.  Face it you are a strait shooter with a sense of humor.  Most people can’t handle the first part because the truth hurts, and some people on the internet lack the latter, a sense of humor.  Keep it up, the more hate mail you receive the better you are doing!!!

Firstly report him/her to Yahoo, or wherever else you have been recieving emails or messages.\nSecondly, make sure that your personal details aren't in the public domain anywhere online or elsewhere. I don't know what this person said to you, but the fact you used the word 'disturbing', makes me worry a little. I would for the moment make sure you have adequate anti-virus software and that you cannot be traced, meaning your address or phone number.\nUnfortunately there are a lot of strange people on the internet, it's given a new, more discreet and untraceable forum to weirdos across the world.\nBe careful, I wish you all the best. \nDana

Yes, I am fed up with those types of emails too! I think some people just have more time on their hands and think, "Oh, this email was entertaining! I bet my friends would think so too!" When I think about who I get those emails from, it's usually parents or grandparents who have recently learned how to use email and are delighted by any chance to send an email. Or, it's from people who really have a lot of time on their hands ....\n\n... then again, I suppose all of us Yahoo Answers participants could really be doing something better with our time, too! :)

Yep Got one last week. Ignore and they will go away. Do not respond as this tells them that yr email address is live and they will onsell it to others.

"meaner than a snake." That's funny! I sympathize with your situation.  I sure wouldn't want to go there. What's the worst thing that could happen if you take a strong stance with your husband and tell him that you don't want to go this year?  Why not invite the old coot to your home? Or just skip going to the relatives this year and celebrate the holidays with your husband and children.\nAlso, I would have a problem with a mother-in-law who doesn't have anything nice to say about you or your son and the fact that your husband let's her get away with that nastyness. You don't deserve to be treated like that.

The article follows. But if you have been receiving these emails: don't open; forward to your abuse@yahoo.com and categorize as spam.\n\nAlso, ensure your virus protector up to date.After you update it, run a COMPLETE scan just to be sure.\n\nAlso, you can set up your virus protection/filters not to allow the title and content of the email to get to your box but to be diverted immediately to SPAM and added to your BLOCK addresses.\n\n-------------------------------\nYahoo, world's most popular e-mail, hit by worm Tue Jun 13, 1:48 AM \n\nLAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), the world's \nlargest provider of e-mail services, said on Monday that a software \nvirus aimed at Yahoo Mail users had infected "a very small fraction" \nof its base of more than 200 million accounts. \n\nThe e-mail virus, or worm, has been dubbed Yamanner and landed in \nYahoo mailboxes bearing the headline "New Graphic Site." Once \nopened, the message infects the computer and spreads to other users \nlisted in Yahoo users' e-mail address books, security experts said.\n\nThe e-mail containing the virus need only be opened -- in contrast \nto most worms that are hidden in attachments and require users to \ntake an additional step -- to release the virus, according to \ncomputer security site Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq:SYMC - news).\n\nThe Sunnyvale, California-based company advised users to update \nvirus and firewall software on their computers and to block any e-\nmail sent from the address " av3@...."\n\n"We have taken steps to resolve the issue and protect our users from \nfurther attacks of this worm," Yahoo spokeswoman Kelley Podboy said \nin a statement.\n\n"When we learn of e-mail abuse, such as a worm or other online \nthreat, we take appropriate action," she said. "(A) solution has \nbeen automatically distributed to all Yahoo Mail customers, and \nrequires no additional action on the part of the user."\n\nYamanner, first detected by Yahoo and major computer anti-virus \nsoftware makers earlier on Monday, was ranked as having a low threat \nlevel by Trend Micro Inc. (Nasdaq:TMIC - news) and McAfee Inc. \n(NYSE:MFE - news)\n\nBut Symantec considers the worm an "elevated threat," one step up \nfrom the lowest ranking in terms of relative danger.\n\nSymantec's Security Response site suggested Yahoo Mail users might \nprotect themselves by upgrading to the latest test version of the \nrecently upgraded Yahoo Mail software.\n\n"The worm cannot run on the newest version of Yahoo Mail Beta," \nSymantec's site said.\n\nA Yahoo spokesman was not immediately available to comment on \nwhether the company advised users to do this.\n\nThe worm exploits a vulnerability in Javascript technology used to \nmake the mail program easier to use by triggering embedded HTML \nscripts to run in the computer user's browser.\n\nThe e-mail addresses are also sent to a remote online computer \nserver, which may be used to run spam campaigns, experts said. The \ntechnical name of the worm goes by variants of " JS.Yamanner."

Check the email filters for whoever you are using as your service.  Could be picking those up as junk mail.

I think that a racist and violent email is considered harassment, which you can sue for.  If you think you are actually in danger, though, I'd notify the police.
