I would be extremely surprised if any self-respecting ISP will tell you who it is... and they shouldn't... they can't give out user info simply because you provide them with headers privacy people! If someone sends you an email you don't like and the ISP gives you their info, what is to stop y

US, there still may ne nothing they can do. Though Yahoo will close the account. Either way, you will never know the identity of the real sender, at least from this... the law enforcement agency won't tell you who it is once they have the records, nor should they, and neither will Yahoo. Sh

As others have said, the security of a system is more a function of the admin running it than anything else... A great admin running Windows 2000 is by far better off than a complete moron running OpenBSD... Also, don't put too much weight into the Orange Book rating of a system as it does not tak
