Hi The email header will also have the network address that connected to Yahoo. Do you have a copy of the header ?

Unfortunately there isn't a clear way to do this since Yahoo is the middle guy and the mail headers were generated there. We recently had a similar e-mail come in and we spoke to Yahoo directly. While they were
sympathetic
to the situation, they stated some sort of Court Order or Law Enforcement involvment would be required for them to give out information.

One of our users has received questionable and possibly life threatening emails from a yahoo account that was created recently. They have approached us to find out as much as we can pertaining to the person sending it. Of course, we are not YAHOO so we cannot determine anything about the mail other than the content. How can we find out who sent this? _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail --------------------------------------------------------------------------
