You will discover in this small tutorial how to obtain information about the sender of an email, including the IP address, and Internet operator.
This method may be useful for an entrepreneur to know the country of each customer, simply email them and wait for the response from customers to know their locations! This is just an example :)
To explain how it works, when you receive an email, in fact you do not receive the message only.
The email comes with a header that contains important information that can show you where the mail was sent, and obviously that sent him.
For this you need to find the IP address of the sender. What is the main purpose of this tutorial.
Let's go!
How to locate the sender via emails:
In fact, this feature is valid on all types of email services, just search the text "View Source", "Show original" or "show headers" in English.
Connect to your Email address and open the message you received the anonymous sender.
If you have a Gmail email address, click the right arrow button "Reply", then click "Show original" from the menu that appears.
If you use Hotmail (Windows Live), click the left arrow and then on "View Source of the message".
A page will open with some text, copy the text to decode it.
Open this page: http://www.iptrackeronline.com/header.php
Paste the code you just copied into the "Email header analysis", click the "Submit header for analysis" button.
The page may take a while to load ...
After refreshing the page, you'll get all the information in the form of several tables and a Google Maps widget for localization.
In the first picture, the site gives you a few lines with multiple IP addresses, the first line contains the IP address of the sender, his country, his city and a "flag" for his country.
In the second table, the site gives you all the other information that relationship with the sender (name, email, provider ...).
Then right after, geographic location on Google Maps.
For users of the Gmail service, the location does not work anymore, thankfully: D
Thank you Google!
