I have a user that is receiving the Yaha.E virus about once a day. We keep our AV definitions up to date so it is always detected, but it would be nice to be able to identify the source. Since the return address is spoofed is there a way to track these things down?

You might try checking your mail server logs, you'd at least get the IP address (and probably domain) of the mail server sending it to you, and assuming it's not AOL/Hotmail/Earthlink you could probably contact the mailserver admin and have them contact the user or block the account.
