5 of 14 - How can I tell who the Spam is from?

Normally you cannot.  Spam control can become very sophisticated.  more experienced users can look at the email 'headers' to find the origin of the message, but frequently the spammer will set up a one-time email account purely to initiate the spam email shot.  When the email shot is finished, the account is closed.  At other times, the spammer will forge headers making it difficult or impossible to trace the origin of the Spam, so finding the original sender will very often prove fruitless.  Spam protection and junk email prevention require more subtle measures than just finding the culprit.
