Tracking Email Sender

[PeterGriffin]

Is there a way to find out who sent you an email when they don't use a real "from" or "reply" address?

I have received a few emails lately that are about to cross the line of being legal, and want to find out who is sending them.

I don't remember where I got it from or read it originally, but here's an document on reading e-mail headers. Might benefit you. You can d/l from my FTP.

Interesting Stuff!

I will have to read it in its entirety later today.

Thanks

How do I view the headers of an email in Outlook, and in Outlook Express?


EDIT:
Nevermind, I found it.
View | Options

What if someone is spoofs thier address, how can I find it then?

File -> Properties -> Details

In Outlook, just right-click and choose "Options". You don't need to open the message to view the headers.

Nice primer on Email Headers there Evil Rick. Thanks for sharing.

I found this at Cert.org

I'd also check out Security Focus and just about every link here
