I just got an email and wanna trace it

[Bahumat]

I just received an email with a .rtf attachment. I did a scan and it seems to be ok, however I wanted to know if I could trace where the email came from. What site could do this?

Well if you do a google search for 'tracing an email' lots of solutions come up. All boils down to being able to eventually get the ip address of that person or company. Once you have the ip address of the sender you can use a tool to find out more about the ip address. 2 such tools are these:

Email Trace - Trace Email and Track Email tool

IP Tracer, IP Tracker, IP Locator and other DNS tools

Cheers Thugz.

I was browsing and all the sites i found said "oh yeah, we can do this no probs, but you have to install this program and then sign up to this that and the other"

if you actually get an email you want to trace then why give a shite? just forward it to their isp, delete it and get on with fun things?

Cause I'd do anything, to fall asleep with you!

If you have Outlook you can right click and view Message Headers this should tell you the server that first sent the message.

send a PM to Damini, she rocks at that stuff

yeah, you do not need satellites or any of that fancy shite, just pm dams and she will sniff the sender out, publisyh his name address and house number bank details and sexual preference for a certain animals*















*could be lies

Haha I was just thinking that!

Assuming they were amateurs spammers, just looking at the headers would do. If they knew what they were doing, you'd need access to the servers it went via.
