In the past, it was necessary to either own a domain name or rely upon your ISP in order to send and/or receive email - but not today, thanks to the multitude of different websites that exist today. Using web-based services means saving space on your personal computer, and you also run less risk of file loss. Is it a surprise than hundreds of millions of people have email addresses? In fact, many families will go as far as to have an addresses for every single person in the household!
This isn't to say that using an online service doesn't carry with it certain risks, because it does. For example, hackers have been known to target an account that hasn't been used for a long period. Also increasing the risk of being attacked is if your password is too easy to guess, meaning that your personal address can be used to send out malicious e-mails to people in your address book. It's always good to show a little originality when choosing a password! A mix of alphanumeric characters (numbers as well as letters) works best.
Nevertheless, with certain ISPs it is a simple enough matter to discover who has been sending the negative communications under your name. Take Yahoo, for example. While there exist quite a few good reverse e-mail services available, a good first step would be to try the Yahoo! reverse search, because you are more likely to discover the information you seek if you try perusing Yahoo!'s own servers first.
And not to insult your intelligence, but please make sure to record all the addresses that have been sending you (or others) unwanted mails; an amazing number of people are all set to do a reverse email search before recalling that they don't have any of the addresses they need to use! It's certainly no fun to be stopped dead in your tracks before you even begin to do your research.
You may need to attempt a few reverse e-mail searches before you find one that offers any useful results - and remember that if one reverse e-mail search is perpetually useless to try a different website! Nautrally these spammers and hackers do not want to be found and will take measures to conceal their identities. Should you continuously hit a brick wall you may want to hire a professional.
So, remember - always start by using the Yahoo.com reverse e-mail search, but maintain an open mind and be willing to approach this matter with persistence. With time and a little patience, you should be able to find whatever you are looking for. Good luck!
