How to Trace an Email

Another lovely link from our friends at LifeHacker [ http://lifehacker.com/ ], here’s a step by step tutorial on how to trace an email using the header information. There was a time when I used to think it would help you report spammers to their ISPs, but usually ISPs and mail hosts are so flooded with reports like this that yours might get lost in the crowd; but it will definitely help you if you’re creating mail filters or if you have someone who’s specifically targeting you via email and sending you threats or other abusive content.

Even if you don’t, you could just as easily change the title of this article to “How Email Works,” and it’d be just as valuable. Enjoy!
