IT Expert Help needed!!

[esteem]

I received an anonymous mail of idiotic nature that threatened me actually. I want to find the Ip address of the originator. Can anyone suggest me what should I do?

If I know that a particular PC was used to send that specific mail (using Yahoo mail), how can I confirm it? Will there be any evidence left in the PC? If yes, how can I find it?

You can but I think its too late.
SorrY!!
Don't let "internet" threats bother you.
Obviously that person wasn't brave enuff to say it to your face, that just means they are some lil punk. Let it go!!

What can you do with the IP address? Do you think u can catch the person? Well the answer is NO! instead you can write to the admin or the customer service department of the service provider give them the details and the email address and tell them the problem. But yet that doesn't solve the problem.

The fact of the matter is the person who sends the email does not use his machines address to send email rather the smtp or mail server. Only the service provider can find out the origin of the email and can take action.

Dear All,

Yes, IP is required...but not to catch the E-mail sender. But to know the nature & Source of the Mail. Who are facing the problem, seems not enough expert & didn't explained with enough information. By getting the Source & Nature of E-mail, possible to block that type of SPAM E-mail by many ways. If anyone here with minimum knowledge on Internet & don'r want/Unable to describe more, better install an "E-mail Spam guard" Software & a good anti virus (I Suggest AVAST ANTI VIRUS).

Thanks,

Khan
