Off course, anonymous mails (am)  can be tracked!  (and, eventually,
the mail be connected to a person's identity).
 
If  you  want to go far (and may be waste your time):
 
    Go to the maintainer of the anonymous remailer;
        If the am is unlawful, s/he'll have to disclose where
        it came from.
    Go to the Domain's Systems Senior-in-Chief;
    Go to the local and domain's academic authorities;
    Go to the Police Forces.
 
If an am is enough unlawful,  it  will be tracked.  In Sweden, there
was trouble regarding an anonymous mailer in .FI.  Anonymous mailers
are mainly used to  send  abusive  e-mails  and  pornographic  files
(included  child-pornography,  which  is  strictly  banned  in  most
civilized  countries) over the net.  Some Senior administrators have
also stated that such  mailers  are  used  as "smoke bombs" to cover
criminal activities (black net operations, etc.).
 
Anonymous mailers should be abolished.  People  who  would  like  to
exchange certain information (victims of sexual abuse or other kinds
of  violence,  etc.)  may  always  get  a  number  account in a .com
provider.
