Dennis:

 

In the case of your email, the first RECEIVED: line shows the message
coming
from 129.108.41.43. If I do a traceroute command, I get the following.
It
shows the path between my home computer (the address of which I've x'ed
out
so it's not published on the Internet) and 129.108.41.43. Looking at the
nearest identified address in the path that it took, it looks like the
email
may have come from a computer at the University of Texas at El Paseo. If
I
were following up on this, I'd look up their email address, and write to
them, asking if 129.108.41.43 is one of their computers, and if so,
could
they look into viruses as possibly coming from it.

 

(Note that recent versions of Windows also have the traceroute command,
although they call it "tracert". It would be run from a DOS command
prompt.)
