Dunno what category this question belongs to, but if you report someone and they come up with new account, can we find out where he/she is from?

Additional - The mail that I received form one of such trolls through Y! Answers shows Yahoo!7, does it mean Australia or anyone can send mails like that.

For example in my email box it shows ''Yahoo!7 Answers: You have received a message from another user!"

While other such communications show Y!Xtra, or simply Yahoo

Any idea?
And its a very casual question, please don't get angry for Y!7 thingy. . .

'm not sure why the trolls are so interested in you, that 'I'm in love' guy seems to have developed an unhealthy obsession for you, but why?

No you can't find out the IP address of Y!A users, or where they're from. Yahoo keeps that info secret, and for good reason. If that info falls into the wrong hands, some serious trolling could be done.

Yahoo!7 is the australian site, au.answers.yahoo.com
Yahoo!Xtra is the NZ site, nz.answers.yahoo.com
Yahoo! is the normal (or USA) site, answers.yahoo.com

Just because someone is using the Yaho!7 doesn't necessarily mean they're from Australia though, someone from somewhere else could easily get into the Australian site just by changing 'nz' to 'au', for example, in the address bar. Or by clicking the Aussie flag at the bottom of the screen. If the email comes up 'Yahoo!7' it just means they were using the Aus site at the time they sent the message.

I've frequently found myself ending up on the Australian site just byclicking the link to another question in an answer to a Y!A question, that was posted on here. So it's really easy to go from one country's site to another.

If it is email in your email account go to the bottom of it. On the right hand side it should say something like show full header and click on this, scroll back to the top of the email and look at what it shows.
