Look on the web (revealed.tucows.com) first, look for Visual Route. It's an IP util that lets you put in an address of URL, and it'll map it to the owner. It works most of the time.

As for finding out the origin on a message... If using MS outlook, open the message (not in the preview pane) in it's own window, and click on tools, options. Then there's a internet headers section that should give you a clue.

Make sure that you know the EXACT IP before reporting, sometimes the source of email can be spoofed.

One of the products mentioned above would allow you to fully trace back to the originator. Sam Spade is free; Neotrace and Visual Route cost is minimal.

You can also download Visual Zone below, this FREE tool provide lookup, trace, and reporting capability:
