TangentIdea Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Is there any way to have FormMail trace IPs of users using FormMail to submit messages, and then attach the trace to the email? I've gotten a threatening emails that I *suspect* are just some idiot playing a prank. However, I'd like to be able to get a trace, so I can figure out their ISP is to report them if necessary. Of course, I have FormMail include their IP address, but by the time I look at it, they've disconnected. Any ideas? -Ryan Quote
MikeJ Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 (edited) The easiest if it's just a temporary issue, might be just to grab your raw access_log and see what IP address accessed your formmail script at the time the mail was sent. But doesn't formmail include the IP anyway? You don't need to do a trace to figure out their ISP. Just do a whois on the IP address to find out what ISP the address belongs to. http://www.geektools.com/whois.php is one whois service that should give you that info.

TangentIdea Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 Great, thanks. I really don't think that it's a problem, but I want to keep his info handy should he become a real problem. Like I said, I suspect it's just some idiot trying to be funny. -Ryan Quote
