New Email
Hi,
I wanted to trace an email to see the rough location of the sender (because Im receiving messages from someone I think isn't who they say they are).
Looking on tutorials, it seems the way to find the IP address of the sender is to view the full header (which I'm managed to do) and locate the IP address of the sender from the 'received' bit, or type the whole thing into a trace email website and it will do it for me.
The problem I have, is I'm experimenting with this my sending myself an email (from my hotmail to yahoo) to make sure this process works. It does not seem to work as there are about 2 IP addresses in the header (from myself) and one is in the USA, one in Ireland which isn't accurate at all.
Anyone have any idea why it is displaying the wrong IP?
