Report it to: - your hosting company, by sending them an original copy of the threatening E-mail (with all headers in their original form. Transfer as an attachment within any professional E-mail client), - your national security agency or specialised IT police department with an original copy of the threatening E-mail. > [...] the world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil > than from those who actually commit it. > Albert Einstein
