(Apologies for the top post) As I understand it, Neil knows the identity of the 'troll' - as does the 'victim'. So I think this is quite a different situation. Given that both addresses are provided by you, can't you simply block email from troll to victim? That'd be quite a normal thing to do if you were only providing email service to the victim.
