Dumb IP question

[edummy]

I did a cracked thing

I emailed an important client and I told her what I really thought of her.
anyway I did this from an yahoo account...but from where I now work.

can it be traced back to my place of business. I would probably get fired..

help????

In terms on looking at SMTP headers etc, you're quite safe. All they can find out is is that mail originated from yahoo.

Yahoo may have details about your actual location as they may have IP address logs to show where you logged in from. There's no way however they'd share that with anyone except a law enforcement agency (I hope she doesn't work for the FBI!)

The only thing I can think that can give you away your identity would be the email address or the content of the email itself.

Actually, Yahoo and I think most of the other web based emails providers do include sender's IP address in the headers.

It looks something like

Received: from [x.x.x.x] by webyyyyy.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP;
