Like to know if thare is any way I can trace the origin of an email, whether it was sent through hotmail account or yahoo account. I like to know the ip address of the computer it actually originated from. We have been getting email from certain individual but I am unable to pinpoint its actuall origination point. Any software or codes that can help me out. Thanks

There's a product called Visual Trace that can trace an IP address to a physical location. Might try the Symantec website as I believe they have one online that costs nothing to use. Otherwise, check (or "search") on the term and see if there's a shareware program out there. Probably is - it's pretty common. BTW, you're smart to be suspicious of emails coming from free accounts, like yahoo or hotmail.
