Thread: How Can I Trace the Location of a Spammer's Email?


quick question- possible trace email original location sent looking @ email headers.

used domain tools trace email way isp, in case cox communications. there way trace actual sender?

thanks!

i don't know of reliable way of tracing spammer's location based solely on contents of email headers.

part of problem not email headers trustworthy: of them have been modified spammer effort cover tracks.

issue email providers (e.g. gmail) don't include originating ip in emails send, results in cybersleuths running dead end once location of provider's server.

if have correct ip address (the x-originating-ip header start, if it's available), tools such geolocation queries approximate, , don't give real location. if, example, send email home network, geolocation query on originating ip address show me several hundred kilometres true location.

1 of "standard" answers i've seen on whatismyipaddress forum chances won't able learn more have without subpoena sender's service provider.
