Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Someone I went to college with 15 years ago has been contacting me over the past 3 years- with harrassing e-mails. I have blocked her from my accounts and Facebook BUT she is now sending e-mails to my husband's office (slandering both of our names as well as the company) and she is sending e-mails to my family and friends via Facebook. The e-mails are not all coherant and the things she says are truly terrible (I'm evil, we are unethical, we are liars, etc...). I have not even seen this person in 7 years and before that only a handful times since she left college in 1997. We were "friends" but we grew apart. I believe she is suffering from a mental illness but I do not know her or anyone who knows her to know that much about her. Her father did suffer from a severe form of bi-polar and eventually took his own life. At first I thought her e-mails, though disturbing and hurtful, were basically harmless rantings of a mentally disturbed person who chose me as person to target. But I really don't know how she even found out where my husbands works, much less the e-mail address to the corporate office! The e-mails she sends are slanderous and disturbing, though she has not threatened me just tells me how awful I am and tells others the same things about me. I do not know what steps I should take to make this stop. I live in Georgia and she lives in Alabama.

This is frankly not a legal problem. All email systems have a way to block senders where you and your husband won't even see the emails. You also can contact her ISP if the blocking doesn't work.
