Right click on the email, select properties, details, message source. There should be an IP address (series of numbers like 122.80.444.23), use a whois or IP sniffer (by searching for ones online). You should be able to trace the senders service provider by entering the IP number into the tracer. So for example, if it returned an AOL address, visit the AOL homepage and contact them about it. DO NOT delete the email as they will require it.

you can find out who the IP is registered to with a reverse IP lookup, although that won't necessarily lead you to the exact computer.\nhttp://psacake.com/web/eg.asp\n\nyou can also get an estimate of where that IP is located geographically, but it's not very reliable and your best hitting several sites found on google to get the best estimate of where the IP is currently located at.\n\nThat's the best you'll do just off an IP, you probably won't be able to find out who owns the computer that is using that IP address, maybe just the service provider.

Is this a spam emails? Or a harrassing email that was sent to you?\n\nIf you look at your email program their should be a menu link for seeing detailed results of the sender. This will gie you what will appear to be a bunch of nonsense information however it isn't.   You should see a section with originating sender. Look for it and then do a domain search, who a whois search at network soloutions and email them  Getting a specific ip will be almost impossible unless they are set up with having sent it from an ip rather than a domain mask.

There is one way to find out what country it was sent from.\nLook at the headers for something that takes \nReceived: from IPHost (name) [IP Address])\nby your ISP Server (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3248F37B8B5\nfor <your email address>\nTake that IP address and enter it into\nhttp://ip2location.com/free.asp\nand it would tell you where the server is,\nif it is a local ISP (not a big company) its very useful.

This is spam and you are giving your address book to the perpertrators. don't do it and report it to your ISP service moderator

There is no foolproof and easy way, but here is an overview of what you can try as a start...\n\nEmail headers (which are not shown by default in most email clients by default) provide some level of origination/tracking information.   The headers show information such as the From name/email, To name/email, Reply-to address, etc.   They also show the path the message took to get to you (the servers in between).  Once you find the originating server, you can lookup the IP address \n\nTo show the headers:\nIn Outlook -- Right click on message and choose options\nIn GMail -- Click "More Options", then click "Show original"\nIn Yahoo Mail -- Click "Full Headers" in the bottom right of the page\n\nLook for the very last "Received" header.  This should tell you the server it was sent from originally.   Look for a number, such as 147.72.102.103.    Then type that address into this website http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/website-country/ (or other IP->GEO tools).    This should tell you the city, state, and country the server is located.\n\nUnfortunately, these headers can be easily forged.  Also, a user can connect to a server from very far away.   So take everything with a grain of salt.

Here is a link for interpretting email headers. If you have any of the bogus email you can get alot of the info you need (IP address etc) from the header. TX\n\nhttp://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html

record each attempt by their ip address and time they've registered and posted (if you are the owner, and admi of the forum and server its on).\n\nthen write / email the webhost/isp that owns that ip with a formal complain, and give them the times that were recorded along with which ip address.\n\nThat is as far as you can go.\nif the abuser still continues to do so, get a lawyer and give him/her the tracking you've done thus far. tehy will send a formal letter on your behalf to ask again the isp to take care of their abusing customer.\n\nif nothing happens still, then take the ISP to court to get a subpoena to find out who the abuser is and then sue them.

block them and then find out who there provider is, exm.@yahoo.com or @hotmail.com....... contact and report

There are databases that can be checked against to see where the IP address originates from.\n\nThey simply perform a check using the visiting IP address against these databases to get the location.

well dear,  it is quite illegal to get a software that can retrieve the information about the owner of an email address from the mail server.\n  i have got one and i can tell you the information about you i got from your email address.\nbut it is not on the Internet so u write me a mail and i will reply you with the software as an attachment or i can out it up in my website for you go there and download it, as soon as you download i will remove it.\n\nplease remember its still illegal.

Contact your mail provider (Gmail, Yahoo!, etc.)\n\nHowever they might take a while. You could try the FCC (Federal Communications Commision).\n\nAlso, you could use the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3):\nhttp://www.ic3.gov/

Let's start with Planet Earth. \n\nIf you know the domain name, PING it.  \n\nFrom the Command Promt, type\n\nping yahoo.com\n\nThen use a WHOIS service to Look up that IP address to find the OWNER.   That owner probably has the server installed somewhere near their location.\n\nTry \nhttp://www.arin.net/whois/

You can go to http://samspade.org/ and do an "IP Whois" to get some info...\n\nediting ...\n\nit's not working for me now.
