The easiset way is to send an email to yourself at another account (Notmail or Gmail) and look at the headers of the email.

There should be a series of lines like this

Received: from 216.55.181.47 (EHLO mail5.zoneedit.com) (216.55.181.47)

by mta108.rog.mail.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; Wed, 04 Jul 2007 06:34:28 -0700

Received: from [83.7.148.81] (abjg81.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl [83.7.148.81])

by mail5.zoneedit.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id BB8094F4D1D

for <undisclosed_recipient@munged.invalid>; Wed,  4 Jul 2007 09:40:41 -0400 (EDT)

(this is from a spam I just received).

The bottom Received line is the exchange between the workstation and my SMTP server, so the SMTP server that is sending the email has IP 83.7.148.81

Have you tried asking your network people? They should know how your own servers are setup!
