How to check what computer sent an email?
So there is this huge issue at school, where some freshman students got onto a school computer that was logged into a teachers email, they sent an email from a students computer. The teacher used a student computer and forgot to log out. So the immature student(s) sent a sex email to one of the students. And is there any way to check who sent it, there is around 30 school computers, does each computer have a different ip or anything that could be tracked? People sign a paper of their computer #. And I want to help him out, cause this can be big, any thing that can help? Thanks c:

Yeah, go talk to the tech department. The people who handle user information and passwords, internet and networking. Those tech guys will be able to locate any sent/recieved emails that use the schools email address, so anything that sends an email from, say, someone@thisschool.com can be tracked because the email addresses are owned and maintained by the school.
You'll be surprised at how much security a school IT system can have. When I was young, like 15, I managed to find a way round sending prints to different printers in my school so I sent some rather rude messages to every room and I thought I got away with it. WRONG. They traced me down to the username used and I got suspended.
Think about it though, even if the email was found. The username will be that of the member of staff and not the person who sent it so thats covered up. Sp the best way would probably do some investigative thinking of your own and ask the techs to find out who logged on to that computer before the member of staff did, or get the kid to own up.
Hope I helped you buddy.
