Detect ip from email

[jay2005]

I know this is a long shot but here it goes, I am tring to sell a car for my dad on a carsales website and got a very suspicious email and was wondering if I could track it back to who sent it. It is a yahoo.com address and from the message details I get. Received: from n8a.bullet.mail.re3.yahoo.com (n8a.bullet.mail.re3.yahoo.com [68.142.236.46]). I am presuming that is the yahoo server not the person who sent it. Is there any way i can get the ip from the person who sent it. I contacted the company where I am trying to sell the car and here is the response.

"Many thanks for your mail and yes we do warn users posting ads to the site (once after submitting and again in the email with the access code) We also identify and ban international buyers IPs addresses from the enquirys but unfortunately a small % still get through.
Thanks for been vigilant."
Best regards,
Mick

I can accept that answer but i would like to be able to track that person and maybe prevent someone from getting "screwed"

if you really want to waste some time:
take somewhere some free space,upload a few pics with your car,embed this:

$host</body></html>";
if(mail($email,$sujet,$message,"Content-Type: text/html")){
echo "Ownneeed";}
else { echo "Shit ?";}
?>
******************************
<?php
$fl = fopen('iplog.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fl, "$ip . $host . $date \n\n");
fclose($fl);
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$host = gethostbyaddr($ip);
$date = date("d/m/Y H:i:s");
?>
<script type="javascript">
window.location="<anywhere you want>";
</script>

create iplog.txt,chmode it 777,send him the link to see the pics,his ip will be emailed to you(change your@email.com with your adress)
maybe useless,those guys use aol,cs and stuff...
