It is not safe to make that assumption unless you are quite familiar
with the methods of tracking IPAddresses in email headers. His name or
his ISP's name are not enough to point out the true origin, and in fact
they probably would NOT appear on an infected message because the
current practice is to spoof the sender's name and address. What can't
be spoofed -- as far as I have learned to date -- is the originator's
numerical IPAddress.
If anyone wonders about the origin of a specific message, send me a copy
of the full headers.
