      You can trace an Email for its IP address in the header but depending on how the EMail was sent, may only get you as far back to the originators mail server. You are then dependant on the Mail Server owner to tell you who sent the mail.

      Forget about MAC addresses, they never leave the netwrok they originate on. MAC addresses are part of the Ethernet protocol and only exist on Local Area Networks, not the Internet. They are useless for tracing anything except a computer on the same network as you are.
