6. That should most likely be the IP address of the sender. If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.

Now, you can find the exact location of the sender by using GeoBytes IP Locator or IP2Location.

Nice blog useful for those who are looking for some other tricks to find the ip address of a sender in yahoo mail ...I followed the tips which you mentioned here and easily figured out the ip address of one victim who used to send unwanted mail to me in yahoo mail ...After finding the ip address i did whois search for that ip address through sites like WhoisXY.com to trace his location but i can trace only details like ip location ,country ,ISP name ,ISP address and so on but i can't trace exact home address of that person from ip address we can trace only ISP details from ip address ..
