Locate Source of E Mail

When receiving E Mail how can the source be checked. After multiple E mails how can you determine the location?

 

Look at the full headers. There should be a complete route map in them of every server the email went through, back to the source. These are put on by the servers themselves, so its a little harder to spoof. At the least you'll have the first server that it went through.

 

Thanks for the link, works perfect with Opera Mail.

 

... and : look to my response at thread : " IMAP email client ".

Good luck !...

 

Thank you for the help.

Just copy and paste the full headers of the mail you've received into the box ...

JRViejo,

This is a very useful idea and hope it remains available to us for doing some searches when needed.

May I pass-on this, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for the link and information on where to find the 'froms' in the header of the e-mail.

This is something I feel we wanted and needed but did not know it, `til now.

 

I found this link helpful: http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html

I think I got it from another post here at Wilders some time ago.

Use the information in conjunction with IPNetIinfo from here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/ipnetinfo.html

 

SpikeyB,

This looks as though it is a very informative site, will need to read it when there is more time. Right now we are expecting "IKE" the hurricane to hit close to us and now need to do a rush job of preparing for the worst.
