How to track the source IP of an email?
Is there any way I can link a source IP to an email I receive? I have some unwanted emails being sent to me, and I want to know the IP address of the person that sent them. How would I do this?

Copy and paste one of your spams here then I will tell you the answer.
Note, even you get the source IP, it might not be the actual source sending the spams. These days most spammers use "open proxy".

Look here for the answer.

Or, for the short version:

Copy the 12-digit number found when you display full headers, in the area with the text ‘Received: from [###.###.##.##] by…’ (this number is the IP address of the sender). Do an ARIN WHOIS Database Search for that address by pasting the number you just copied into the search engine of the page just provided. Submit query. The information for that address will be displayed.

However, like freebsd stated above, the ISP address may be forged.

For more information on reporting spam, go here (scroll down to the forth paragraph for the pertinent information).
