There's no way to get the real email address, really. What you can do, is get the IP Address (eventually) of the sender. I use SpamCop @ <http://www.spamcop.net/>. You paste into it's form the entire email (with FULL headers) and it extrapolates and determines not only who sent the email (or at least, who's the admin on the network the email originated from), but also what open relay mail server was used to send the email...... and lets you send official looking emails to these people with all the information they need to put a stop to this. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
