Based on what you have to work with, there's no way to tell where the message originated. You might be able to get something useful out of Yahoo with a subpoena, but not otherwise.

Wish I had better news.

Thats an Adelphia Cable user, if that helps. Lemme see if I can do a bit more digging....

Ok, Adelphia is blocking ICMP packets once I start getting anywhere near anything useful... I have to try a different approach.

 

[420]

Ok, based on ownership, the IP tracks to:

Coudersport, Pennsylvania, United States

Now that is usually just the main office of the owner of the IP block. I checked, and my suspicions were confirmed:

Adelphia Communications
1 North Main Street
Coudersport, PA 16915

The name of the local router that is handling the IP is:

ca-lapuente-cuda2-c1a-56.arcdca.adelphia.net

Sometimes you can figure out where that router is located based on the name, but in this case, I'm just not understanding where that would be. I would *GUESS* California somewhere....

Normally, I would run a trace over a visual setup that would allow me to track the hops on a map, but the network blocks the ICMP packets that make that work, so no go there

I'll keep playing with this, but I'm not promising anything.

Before you dig a hole for yourself....

Remember that any e-mail address can be "spoofed"

No doubt, but it's a lot harder to spoof the IP that is making the connection to the outgoing mail server. Certainly not IMPOSSIBLE, but a lot harder than changing a "from" address

There are a few turds out there who deserve to have serious consequences come their way for the stuff they send over the Internet, I agree.

Someone recently got into my son's e-mail account (on AOL) and sent some spam from his e-mail address without his knowledge or consent. We changed our passwords and installed a special internet security program from McAfee to prevent future occurances. At least it will be much more difficult for the next hacker to gain access to our e-mail address.

That is why I mentioned something about "digging a hole for yourself" because you'll prolly never know for sure whether this guy sent the message or someone else used his e-mail account to do the deed

I have no idea about spoofing the IP address....Another gap in my education If you'd care to make me smart on that issue, I'll read very carefully.
