Vista - how do i find ip address on email

I want to confirm which computer is sending an email by checking against ip
address.

If there a way ?

Look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3). The bottom most Received line is
inserted by the SMTP mail server that first got the message. It should
indicate the IP address of the PC that sent the message.

But there are limitations. If the sending PC is on a dial-up connection
the IP address changes each time the PC connects to its ISP. If the PC
is on a LAN and the SMTP mail server is not on the same LAN, the IP
address that it sees may not be directly relatable to a PC.

If the sender is a spammer, or otherwise technically astute, he can
insert fake 'Received' headers which tend to disguise the true origin.
In that case, one would have to be adept at distinguishing fake
headers from genuine ones.

Even if you have access, any computer which obtains an IP address via DHCP
will require checking any logs of the routers involved in networking the
computers, or even the DHCP aervers; if such logs exist.

If you are not the network administrator, you probably will be lacking
access to sufficient data to find out what you want to know.
