If you are getting e-mails you don’t want, it can be tough to see where they are coming from. Spammers (and anyone else) can edit the “from” address and such, to confuse you.
This article shows you a couple of tools that can help you track the source of an e-mail. I hate spam…this may help.
The solution to tracking this back is by going through “e-mail headers,” which is information attached to every e-mail about its journey to your mailbox. The key is to find your e-mail headers. I’d write a summary, but someone else already did: http://mxtoolbox.com/Public/Content/EmailHeaders/
Now that you have the headers, they can be tough to read. No worries – use this tool to summarize what’s going on and make the time & date stamps readable: https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/messageheader/
In every e-mail, these headers track where the message came from and where it’s going. There is also a section of the header that creates a mathematical calculation of the header information. This ensures that the header/routing information is not edited/faked.
Have fun & good luck.
