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, -- Steve.
