Restore the message and click on the IP link. Delete it again when you're done.

IPs are associated with a username when they register and post (posts in threads or visitor messages). You now have an IP associated with a username via the VMs. However, if the user has never posted any other messages on your board (posts or VMs), then you will not be able to associate that IP with another username.

I did read your first post, so I know what the issue is. However, you are only going to be able to associate that IP with another user if they used that IP to post or register with. Some users have dynamic IPs and can easily change them also, so you may just be SOL regarding the issue.
