Re: Sending Emails

The smartest thing you can do is take no further action. If you continue to respond, that might be viewed as harassment. Instead, most ISPs have a way to block an email address. I would block the email address and not worry about it any further.

If you receive telephone calls, you can get a service from the phone company to block the telephone calls. I would do that too.

When you get into one of these situations where someone is claiming harassment, the best and smartest thing to do is nothing further.
