    Hey everyone,

    I have a question..

    Can you find someone's IP address only from e-mail, that that someone sent you?

    Thanks for your answers!

    Yip - gonna tell you how to do it in Outlook Express, because its what I have handy, won't be much different in anything else...

    Anyway - open the message as if you were going to read it.
    Press Alt&Enter together.
    Click Details

    Listed is the message path taken to reach you

    It'll start something like this

    Return-Path: <xxxx@xxxx.xxx>
    Received: from hostatwhereever.theirisp.com (hostatwhereever.theirisp.com)
    by someserver.somewhere.com (SMTP Server) with LMTP; Fri, 01 Jul 2005 11:56:35 +0200
    X-Sieve: Server Sieve 2.2

    In the second line take a note of where its from, this will be a name or IP Address (in my example hostatwhereever.theirisp.com) - if its an IP address then you have your answer - if its a name then you need to lookup the ip address.

    To do this Click Start, Run - type nslookup and hit return
    Then type in the name listed in the details from Outlook and hit return

    This will give you the IP address of the originating machine.

    Hope that helps! :)

    hi....

    with mozilla-thunderbird go to:
    1)open mozilla thunderbird
    2)select view
    3)choose headers ---> set all

    the header of the recieved email will show :
    recieved:from smtp(mailserver from your ISP)
    recieved:from the senders machine...
    I think.... :)
