Most ISPs have a system for dealing with abusive users ... some are more effective than others.

All you need do is forward the abusive correspondence to ab...@xxxxxxxx.com ... with the xxxxxxxx being the name of the abusive person's ISP (which you pick up from their email address).

Then set up your email program to automatically forward any email you receive to that address. This is an example of what one ISP has to say ... good idea to check your own provider.

Report e-mail abuse to MSN Hotmail <mailto:ab...@hotmail.com>
If you have received abusive, harassing, or threatening e-mail messages from an MSN Hotmail account, follow the steps below to report it. To report junk e-mail, please see the "Report junk e-mail to MSN Hotmail" section above.

  1. Turn on full message headers. MSN Hotmail will need this
     information to identify the true origin of the abusive message you
     received:
         * If you have an MSN Hotmail account, click *Options* in the
           upper-right corner of any page. Click *Mail* on the left
           side, and then click *Mail display settings*. Next to
           Message headers, click *Full*, and then click OK.
         * If you do not have an MSN Hotmail account, consult your
           e-mail program's online Help to determine how to view full
           message header information.
  2. Forward a complete copy of the abusive message (including the full
     message header) to ab...@hotmail.com <mailto:ab...@hotmail.com>.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the options mentioned ... just reroute the incoming stuff.

Regards

Bob
