IP address?

by Forum Member » Fri Nov 06, 2009 3:01 am

I see everyone saying they found a persons IP address when you get a email, how do you do that? Is there a website?

Each email program is different, so you have to search around to find out how to see the "full headers".

From that you take the IP address and stick it into a website like:
http://www.dnstools.com/?lookup=on&wwwh ... t=Get+Info

This website describes how to see the full headers in Outlook:
http://email.about.com/cs/outlooktips/qt/et011302.htm

Each message can have multiple lines in the headers that start with "Received" or "Received from". Usually the very last "received..." line is the one with the real sender ip.
