A former boyfriend's new girlfriend has received a half a dozen nasty e-mails from a gmail account.. They determined it was an alias and he is trying to take me to court..accusing me of sending them. I suggested they start a formal investigation with the police and they are supposivly going to subpoena gmail for their records. I didn't do it, but is there anyway someone could cut and paste and IP address or make it look like it came from my home IP address. I was at worked all day, using another IP address which I will be happy to provide as well...I think I'm just paranoid that it can be traced back to me by someone very computer savvy.

check the headers of the IP address, and if there is someone around you who is a computer worm, tell him to investigate it... E-Mail headers have everything in it, but you need some serious time to crack it...
