Thanks, I am trying to wind up the semester and it has been a stressful one so I don't need this.

Plan for the worst, as they say. I'm sure you've documented everything from before you were offered the buyout, if you haven't go back and collect and document as much as you can. If you have, gather everything together so it's convenient. Your job shouldn't need it, should he go to them, but you have it just in case. It'll make you feel better to know you have a plan. Anything he does publicly, rebutt immediately, but stay impersonal. Just the facts, ma'am. Ignore anything personal, like that email, unless it becomes harassment.
Generally speaking, people that bitter and hateful after that long a time are too cowardly to do anything other than send hateful emails or give an ugly review of you. If he does more, then you just need to let everyone know what really happened in a clear, dispassionate way. Most people aren't going to listen to that kind of ranting anyway. I doubt you ever need to do anything, especially after this long. You've been there five or six years now. They know you and your work ethic by now. They're not going to do anything based on heresay from someone who knew you six years ago and obviously has a hate on for you.
Don't worry at all. I doubt he does anything public. If he does something and people see you're not worried about it, they won't worry about it either.
