How to track where an email comes from:
In Outlook:
1. Open up the email
2. Click on View
3. Click on Options
4. You should see a lot of text in the window called Message header
5. Copy the last ISP number
6. Go to a DNS trace site listed above and put in the IP number
7. You should be able to at least determine the country, city or server
the email sender is using.
In Groupwise:
- You have to first select "QuickViewer". That splits your
screen so you can preview each message without actually opening it,
much
like Outlook Express.
- In new GW versions, a small subject window will then appear at the
top
of the preview window. There is a drop down list here. It will show
you
the MIME info.
- That's where the header info is located. Yours is listed
below.
- Go to the trace sites listed above and put in the IP number
- You should be able to at least determine the country, city or server
the email sender is using.
Outlook Express
- Highlight each email you received from the offending parties, one
at a time. Don't open them. Just highlight them with your mouse
- Now right click on the mouse. You should get a menu
- Select the last item on the menu - Properties
- A property box should pop up. Select the second window - "Details"
- You should get a lot of technical gibberish. Copy everything in that
box. Copy the text (highlight it with your mouse, then copy it and paste
it into a Word document or email message
- Go to the trace sites listed above and put in the IP number
- You should be able to at least determine the country, city or server
the email sender is using.
