Libel is a civil issue. We tend to reserve the terms "legal" and "illegal" for criminal actions. In civil law, we use the term "liable". In other words, if someone is guilty of a libelous action, they are subject to liability for any damages resulting from the libel.
You can file a civil suit for libel but make sure you can meet your burden of proof, and make sure you can prove your damages. Being angry over libel is not, alone, enough to take it to court.
