Ip ADDRESS Locater

I am still new to this forum and am sorry if this post is better fitted somewhere else. I just want to know how to find out someone's IP address. For example I was sent an email from a certain someone from thier Internet provider to my yahoo account. If I check out the source in which it came from shouldn't it tell me somewhere? Any clues?

 

I agree this may receive better answers in the Software Forum than the Lounge, but here goes an attempt. And Welcome to Majorgeeks!



You could start with the message headers.

Here is a SPAM header I received today from "Authorization Department." This mail really came from here- srv-186-31.negrobol.com [66.132.186.31]

I have colored the lines telling me this in red.

This went right to my spam folder, do not pass GO! Do not flag as unread new.

Yahoo mail will show similiar headers.
