How do I report another user's threatening emails?

I am getting threatening, harassing emails from another user and I would like to forward these emails to the right person. Who knows the right email address to which I can forward these threatening, harassing emails? This person threatened to "hunt me down and get me."

Update:

Thanks everyone. I forwarded the emails to both y_answrs_team@yahoo.com and abuse@yahoo.com

Update 2:

I'll pick a Best Answer tomorrow. I'm not going to lose any sleep over this disturbed individual's threats; all the same, he needs to be taught a lesson about threatening people.

    abuse@yahoo.com

    address it as HARASSMENT via ANSWERS.

    months back, when i was having issues with hatemail and my Q&A targeted it, that's what i did, and sent a copy of most of the emails. It did work. A real person DID address the issue. But now i fear (at least since december) the ducks have taken control of Y!A as i don't even get an automated response anymore. *damn psychos*.

    OH! also, DO NOT delete the hate mail. save a copy of it on your harddrive just to be safe. My email account was hacked and all the hatemail deleted UNTIL i called up my ISP (and sounded like a crazy no doubt LOL) then all of my mail was restored. (Because i don't use Yahoo mail but another mail client, this was possible.) Never heard anything else about it from them though. But cover you A* big time. SAVE COPIES. You'd be surprised how crazy some of these people on here are. Trust me!

    Good Luck!

    This person has sent the same type of messages to a lot of people on here... The only thing you really can do, is ignore him... I've gotten several emails from him, and have never responded back. Even if you block him, he comes back with a new account under the same name. Again, just ignore him

  • I'm wondering the same thing.. a few days ago i just got an email from the person on Yahoo answer sending me creepy message just because i answered his question and honestly i don't know what's wrong with my answer or he's just a mentally retarded person. idk for sure but his words scared me for the whole day.. i wish there's a place where we can report this problems, and your case it's even scarier than mine.

    I don't like their chances of finding you. if it was me, I would just be saying "ooooh, I am so scared". But that's me. Otherwise just delete them. He/she will give up soon enough.
