Ok, so we know this message did not originate from
this email address, but how do we tell who sent it?

The headers look a little like this


Return-path:
                     <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
            Envelope-to:
                     [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# this is my email address

So, is there a way to find who sent it?

Kind regards
