— targeted harassment by email is stressful and the most important first steps are to preserve evidence and reduce further exposure. was right to suggest technical help; below is a short, practical checklist that an organization can apply now, regardless of which mail system you use.

  • Save originals with full message headers (do not edit). If you use webmail, export or view the raw/source headers so timestamps and routing are intact.
  • Do not reply to abusive messages. Replies can confirm your address is active and escalate the problem.
  • Collect a representative set of messages and record the exact times they arrived. Keep copies in a separate secure folder and export them before deleting anything.
  • Forward full headers and samples to the mailbox provider(s) listed in the headers and to your own host or domain administrator (use abuse@domain when available). Ask the provider to run a trace using server logs.
  • Use server-side filters or quarantine (not just client filters), switch any public contact address to a web form or alias with CAPTCHA, and consider issuing a new public alias while keeping the old address monitored for traces.
  • If you control the charity domain, implement SPF/DKIM and DMARC to reduce spoofing.

Email headers can be tricky (senders are often spoofed), so only providers or law enforcement can run a full trace. If messages contain threats or targeted harassment, report to authorities; for US federal complaints see the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). For instructions on getting full headers from common webmail, see Google support (). Report persistent spam/abuse through services such as SpamCop. Do not attempt any retaliatory or intrusive actions yourself.

Hello paulish,
I'm sorry to hear that spammers to bombard even charity organizations. If you want some support with that problem you should ask your question in (at least, I think) Tech Talk -> Microsoft Windows -> Viruses, Spyware and other Nasties.

Then some other questions to you: How could the spammer got the E-mail adress? Did you put it openly on the site?
Do you have an spamblocker and how much spam do you recieve (like about 1000 mails a month or something like that).

I noticed I said you a copple of times in the above questions, but I mean your organisation.

By The Way: your question is acceptable :P.

Hi and thank you for the reply, our organisation has its information published in the list of not for proift corperations and is avilable to the charity we donate to almost anyone can acess our E adress. I dont know if attacking some one like this is considered as spam per say. the nature of the attacks are public questions as to the moarls of our members for giveing services and relief to " fags and drug users" I am pretty sure no one has ever asked a member of our group there orientation and or use of illegale substances most of us are married and the ages run from 27-68. the attacks are never from the same person who will not reply to our pleas to speak to us or help us resolve the matter, the only one of us who really knows a little about computers has said we should track the isp and that from what they can tell the last recived isp line is almost never the same some are from yahoo adresses that say yahoo on them, the charity work we do benifits mostly single women with kids that live below the poverty line, our efforts are geared to helping the helpless
