An excellent resource for searching out registered IP's or at least the ISP domain's is http://www.arin.net/whois/
This is the one of the official registries for internet addresses and finding the IP and location of the ISP provider will at least be a first step in verifying your sender's location.
Unfortunately, there are many ways for the average person to 'spoof' an IP address, and even programs that will 'spoof' a computer's MAC address so nothing is absolute. Good luck!

On our paper money, we have "water marks" that identify the bill but not always easy to see. The same holds true with email. IP Addresses are embedded and for obvious reasons. You can search Google for "Embedded IP Addresses" and you'll no doubt pick up some knowledge that not everybody has. Hope this helps. Larry
