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

Okay, that's it buddy!  I am emailing you a photographic image of my badge, and we will be at your house shortly to arrest you!  You know what you did.  You have the right to remain silent.........\n\nSeriously, I think they look for specific types of Internet activity and 99.9% of what goes on in Yahoo Answers is probably below their radar.

Only if you click a link. If you get a message with a link do not click it.

Bad move subscribing to those things....\nSometimes the only way is to change phone numbers.\nOr if they're coming via email block the address

That's the problem with spam, it is almost impossible to stop people from sending it.  You can block the individual sender, but spammers change address frequently, and that probably won't work very long.  You should report the message to Yahoo so they can take action if possible.

It sounds like a "No Contact Order." Which can be issued against a convicted abuser. The Prosecution would need to fear for your safety.\n\nIf this isn't the case. . .

It depends on what they're saying.  If they're just offending you, then probably not, but if they're threatening or harassing you personally than you can.  You need to get the headers from the e-mail.  Learn more here:\n\nhttp://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html

Its fine.  If the security certificate was issued to yahoo.com and you go to yahoo.co.uk, it'll give the the message since the site name isn't EXACTLY what is says on the certificate.

no - it is against the rules. You ask your question here to have it answered here, no private emailing or no-one else will benefit. You can have your account terminated for breaking these rules.

that is called a mailing list.\n\nbecause that behavior is objectionable to most people, the lists are opt-in & opt-out, otherwise it's just SPAM!\n\na mailing list is the only civilized way to do this. Don't jam peoples inboxes!

They probably search for those words. Since you have them in your profile, you come up in their search. Maybe you should say something more like, "Senders of inappropriate messages will be prosecuted for harassment, public indecency, and public use of obscenities." You probably can't actually do anything to anyone, but it might discourage some people.

Not to Yahoo, unless you can determine that the source was a Yahoo account.  Send it instead to abuse@bankofamerica.com.  Many companies now have e-mail accounts named "abuse" or "spoof", to send such e-mails to.

you can reprt him to the police, you can forward the emails to the server and tell them about it, the easist thing is just block him so he can't send anymore. they would have to be pretty bad for them to do anything except advise him not to do it

Even though technology has advanced far enough to have people access various entertainment and aid applications, there is no legal way to know if a person recieved their Yahoo! mail, atleast none that I know of. True, they may send you a reply if it is appropriate, or they will notify you personally, but none have been devised to do so.

No.  Some information on court files are not public information.  Address of a person that requested and received an order of protection/injuction against harassment.  Social security numbers of the defendants and plaintiffs in cases.
