Re: Theos-World Krsanna's servers and computer?

Bill -- The only way to find the IP address from which someone logs 
onto Yahoo is to go into Yahoo's logs for the session.  All that is 
seen externally, like in the header, is Yahoo's IP address because 
that is the server used to transmit the posts.  Ultimately, Yahoo 
can trace the origin of accounts that log onto their server, but 
that is not visible from the email header on a list like this.

This is not the same for someone who sends an email directly, 
transmiting through their own internet server.  But... it takes a 
good amount of know-how because of the way many internet networks 
are set up to maximize addresses, proxies and routers.

Best regards,
Krsanna
