TCH-Thomas Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Lets say someone sends me a email from an yahoo account. In the email headers, is it possible to figure out that persons ip number (if always same) and not only that it was sent from yahoo? Quote
MikeJ Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 In most cases yes. It's usually the bottom most Received: line (look for the one that says "via HTTP"). In the one I just sent to myself, it was just below the message-id: >Message-ID: <20040331204303.29408.qmail@web61003.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [1.2.3.4] by web61003.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Wed, 31 Mar 2004 12:43:03 PST 1.2.3.4 was where the IP address of my firewall showed up.
