Do you have thier IP? If so trace it on this website, http://visualware.visualroute.com

At best it will get thier city and atleast state. Good luck.

Oops, got the adress backwards,

http://visualroute.visualware.com/

You can finger her.

Alright, so that didn't come out right. If it's not from an anonymous e-mail address (hotmail, yahoo, etc.), just use a simple finger command and trace the IP that it gives you. If I remember correctly, Symantec has a very nice java based IP tracing utility.

Do the Properties, Details tab on the mail and click the Message Source button. Armed with this, use http://spamcop.com to distinguish the ISP by waiting for the return mail from spamcop and use the "Finish Reporting" link. When you get to the reporting page you scroll down to see where the E-mail originated from.

Does this sound too complicated?
If you want, click on my profile and you can send me an E-mail with the full source code found as described above and I will send it through spamcop for you and give you a reply on the results

Cheers!
