3) Tracking The Orginal Sender
The easiest way for finding the original sender is by looking for the X-Originating-IP header, this header is important since it tells you the IP Address of the computer that had sent the email. If you can not find the X-Originating-IP header then you will have to sift through the Received headers to find the sender's ip.

Once the email sender's ip is found go to http://www.arin.net/ to begin a search.

Now click on the "NET-24-16-0-0-1" link.
