How to track an offensive email ?

One of our customers received an offensive email and they want to track the people who have done this, is that possible and how to?

He received the message to its hotmail account.

Thanks in advance.

The most information you can get is through the web interface, go to the message, upper right corner Action > View message source

All lines above X-OriginalArrivalTime, you can copy & paste here (minus your email address, for privacy reasons you can change it to xxx@xxx.com)

The message was gotten by Outlook 2010, could be enough If I post the headers of the message?

Kimputer

Yes, you can try that. go to the message, Properties, Internet Headers.

Here are the headers, I have changed the names of "from" and "to" addresses.

We have contact with the persons that give us the hosting for the receiver email server, I wonder if that is useful to know a little bit more about this situation.

Regards.
