They can't sue but they can take it to the police who would charge him with a crime.  In order to sue him they would have to prove that there is something they deserve in return for receiving these emails which is doubtful.

No.\n\nUse someone's wireless network.\n\nUse an anonymous email like Yahoo.\n\nDon't do it again from the same network or email address.\n\nThat's all...

There are programs that let you send e-mail as if you were from any direction... You'd even get a mail from "Yourname@yourname.you" if someone is messing up with you.

Only if that person has enabled email in his/her profile.  But please think carefully first; you have no idea what you may be starting.

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.

Boy have I.  Just don't do what I did and make an ass of yourself through e-mail.  If you're going to risk anything do it to their face so you can at least gauge what their reaction really is while you are in the middle of it.

No and a notice of intent by an individual can, in some jurisdictions, be considered a threat, or even extortion. If you are going to sue you should hire an attorney and the attorney will fie a notice of intent which will some times encourage a settlement without a lawsuit.

You can always sue somebody just because he violates your right for a private life.\nJust consider a couple of things before doing this:\n1. Is the person who you think is logging you the person who is really logging you? Can you prove this?\n2. Does it have the right to do this? (is he your employer, a law enforcement agent etc.)\n3. Is he from the Philippines? If not, can you stand up for the costs that imply such a law suit?\nAnd the list goes on...\nBetter think first and start with questioning yourself if the logged data will hurt you as much as a trial will?\nAnd think about all the secret agencies out there that filter our e-mails, faxes, phone calls, sms messages, chat entries, forum posts and that nobody seemed to win law suit against them...\nBut, after all this, the answer to your question is yes. You can file a law suit against somebody who is using a key logger on you.

The email states that the email was sent on the 18th May, unless he has amended this date, which you can do when forwarding emails.\nThe CC is basically a case of, for instance, I am having a conversation with Lisa, I will send the email to Lisa, but if I think that Suzanne would be interested in what we are talking about, I will then CC Suzanne.  All that happens is that the email is sent to both Lisa and Suzanne.

Got 2 myself-one is always mean on my posts the other was a bit of a pervert. \n Some feel you can not have an opinion if they don't share it (thats my post stalker)\n It not a crime to be mean-threating is a crime.\nIf they threating see who their server is (yahoo, hot mail,Outlook or who ever)and report them there.

unfortunately you cant sue ..i have been looking into it my self the only thing i came up with is an email address called spam@uce.gov that the gov. has set up to collect as much info from us to prosecute..It works by you just forwarding your spam emails to them..you will not recieve monetary compensation they just need enough evidence to fine them and shut them down...of course the gov would get the money for the fines ...as usual.

It usually is legal, provided you allow them to unsubscribe if it's an email listserv. Be careful though, as unsolicited email is usually dumped first thing before even reading it. Better to target a certain proven constituency such as Union members, voters in your area of interest, or people who are aware of the issues you wish to address.

Recently, an anti-stalking bill was passed by Congress that  akes it a federal crime to "annoy" someone over the Internet, specifically, to anonymously "annoy, abuse, threaten or harass" another person over the Internet.\n \nThis article has more info, and some case examples:\nhttp://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/0219cyberstalking0210.html

Definitely talk to your lawyer. It is illegal to take someone elses mail from their mailbox, so there may very well be a law about emails as well.

print the e-mail and take it to your local police. they can track the url address to the person . then you can press charges for making death threats via internet. still very much a crime. better to err on the side of caution. he may be just talking crap, but you really don't want to take that kind of chance with your family. good luck, be safe!
