    All the emails came from one address and carried an identical message, according to the Mainichi newspaper in Japan.

      This is unconscionable and should be dealt with severely. Not to downplay it at all but calling it 8,000 death threats is misleading.

        It was probably some idiot running scripts on their laptop. I expect email systems detect this activity easily and block it, but I guess not.

          Mail servers will sometimes drop excessive mail if it comes too fast But an upper limit per address would be novel, and I’m not sure what sort of limits one would put there.

    Thats such an insane over reaction that its unbelievable, and yeah all 8000 were the same message sent by the same person from the same email address, still disturbing but while technically true the headline implies something entirely different from the actual story.

      men are free to harass women in the free world! instead of fixing problems, japan (not saying it is endemic to there) even has trains for women only because they cant educate society (men) properly (because freedom!). and i say this as a man
