This guide shows the process involved in tracing an email. The first step required in tracing an email is finding out the headers of the email. What are headers? Email headers are lines added at the top of an email message that are used by servers as the email goes on route to get delivered. Generally, email clients only show the standard To, From, and Subject headers, but there is more.

Hi Fred, just wanted to add that e-mail headers are extremely easy to fake. Headers will only show the correct info if the person is technically illierate. IP addresses are also not reliable as there are many internet cafes around and ISP sometimes use DHCP.

Do not take matters into your own hands if trying retribution. People should talk to you first or the LE if the issue is that bad.

Just my 2 Euros...

Agree, except for the technically illiterate part as most people don't generally fake their email headers. Those who do sometimes make mistakes and reveal their true IP in the process. Do't forget cybercafes are required to have cameras, if the offence is serious enough and it's reported to the police camera pictures can be reviewed for evidence.
 
As a having set up mail servers and spam filters for several companies... there is a away to get an origin ip from any email.
SpamAssasin logs it all even when the headers do not show as well as ClamAV, MailWatch and a dozen other open source programs that run on the many Nix flavours.
 
Would this be fun?

I read all the threads 10 or more times and i still have no fucking clue whats going on and why would I need to know this.

I would like to take any or all of you computer Geeks out to a golf course for a game and you guys can hit from the Reds (dick out) ill hit from the back Tees and you can also have 3 Mulligans per 9 and we will see who is useless.

Just to even up our day we would proceed to the local Peeler Joint for drunkin male bonding and pure fun YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i'd have to disagree there...all you'd have to do is send it though an anonymizer service that will scrub it clean and voila...no identification....not traceable either as they use tokens

My point was : not everyone does that. If the anonymizer is providing the service free do you think they would waste their time protecting your privacy if the authorities are looking for your personal info. Many anonymizers are not 100% reliable and if you are abusing their service they will comply with requests to block your account or monitor your activities. I am talking from experience, I have filed complaints with some of them.
 
Thanks for the info, Mr. Zed.
I'll probably have no use for this but I love learning new stuff. I'm currently trying to learn Flash right now.
Again, thanks.

The easiest way to do it is to sign up to a hotmail account at a local public library and only access the email account from a public library computer terminal or some other public computer terminal.
 
Speaking of email, I'd love LOVE to form a conglomerate of donors whose sole purpose is to hack spammers and shut them down. I'm not talking just bother them a little, I mean destroy their servers, pcs, mainframes etc.

It has gotten to the point now where spam filters have them pegged so well that they just send out gibberish that is so garbled you can't even tell what it is they are flogging.

Anyone know a way to set up something like this?

lol spoken from the heart of a tru hacker. With Wap Wireless acess protocals any programer worth his/her salt will rip you new asshole. There are some real tricks with sub netting to hide behind. Remeber every Pc has a private Ip address work stations and Terminals are usually daisy chaind ringed or inlined on the one IP. D Boolean math guys in Ip adressing work from left to right.
If I want trace back it too easy and Pop and mail servers usually are not protected very well, there 3 classes of networks A, B , C usually most unless goverment depend on the router and firewall on C class network way too much. most net cafes usually hubbed easy to create cut out programe. Just thought I let you guys know.

credentials Aplus certified, Network plus certified, Cisco, Xp ertified
I know I know half way too an MSCE.
curently under grade in comp sci honners programe.
