What is the difference betweeen IP and ISP and how can you find that on a hotmail account.

There is a way to check for the users IP address just from the email. Dont wanna give that info out on here. Anyone could use it then.

The only thing you can do is get the IP and report it to the ISP they belong too. As ISP's often renew IP's to their users it's hard for an everyday user to track down who's sending it. You can let the ISP know the time and date and they can determine who had that IP at that time.
Now if they are using a proxy, then there is nothing you can do at all. Proxies are anonymous and hardly ever traceable.

Just block the address in your anti spam settings, thats one of the advantages of using Yahoo mail, you can do it in your web browser and not get these messages on your pc. You really shouldn't be opening malicious mails, delete any that have an attatchment and set your settings to 'plain text only'.
You can forward it to Yahoo customer care, but I expect they're inundated with this kind of junk.

you could always track it threw a couple of way, the first one is to contact you service provider with the details of the messages and for them to check it out so they can investigate, or the only other way is to check manually by waiting for the time and people whom you are on-line to and find which one is playing games or sending the messages.

try veiwing headers on your email msg this will give you plenty in fo on wer it came from. each email provider may be different. you will need to find out how to view yours. yahoo has the button on the bottom or top right corner of the msg window
