Tracing an Email

I posted yesterday an article about tracing an hacker, today I give you one about tracing an email. The first thing you have to do is to enable email headers. The site shows you how to do so using gmail, yahoo and msn. All software products should support this feature as well. Email Headers show you additional information about the email, for example a ip is shown.

After configuring your mail software to display those email headers the site explains them in detail.This is necessary to understand the concept. Finally the last part of the article shows you how to trace the sender looking up the senders ip. Its again only helpful if the email was not send using cracked servers or an anonymous mailer.
