IS this possible? One of my domain email addresses is being spoofed and has been for quite a while. My host set up and SPF record due to this but unfortunately this doesnt prevent the spoofer from continuing to send out emails with my address as sender. I still get tons of delivery failures so I guess most of the emails get blocked, thank god. But Im sure some of them still get through. So Im trying to figure out a way to prevent the spoofer from sending in the first place and maybe tracing the IP address can help me achieve this goal. Any ideas how to do that? Thanks.

The short answer is, unfortunately, no. The "From" blank in emails is really just a text field. It is up to the email provider that this person is using to not permit spoofing like that. Unless one of the recipients of the emails sends you a complete email header, it may be next to impossible to determine this.
