Find original ip address

[Steve Phillips]

Basically, the easy answer is "you can't" altho its a little more
complicated.

Reliably, the only information you can get is the address of the server that
connected to your own mail server. Anything past that can be easily forged
and has to be considered unreliable.

Even things such as webmail clients that 'add the original address' are
dependant on a part of the network that you have no control over and so have
to be considered forged.

Spammers these days are very proficient at forging headers and masking where
they originated from.

HTH,
