    Find how to open the headers of the email, and look for the IP address that comes after "Received from". Paste that IP address into a whois IP search, and forward the email to there ISP along with a full copy of the headers.

    To report content in violation of Answers Community Guidelines or Terms of Service, go to the page where the abusive question or answer appears, and click the "Report Abuse" link associated with it. To report abuse that does not appear in the question or answer (such as harassment, obscene avatars, etc), please indicate it in the Additional Details box provided on the Report Abuse form after clicking the link.

    Here's what you have to do:

    1. Forward the message to the Answers Team at this address: y_answrs_team@yahoo.com The subject "Harassing email from another user." Be sure you give them the details of the message.

    2. Go to their profile and click Block; this will keep them from trolling through your posted content and harass all your friends and contacts.

    Warning: You must never respond back to the abuser and harass them, or you'll risk exposing yourself to a violation that can result in the permanent suspension of your Answers account. Just report the matter to the Answers Team, and allow them-along with Customer Care-to take care of the problem for you. That's just it.
