E-Mail Tracking Software

[Hansaman]

Hello, <BR><BR>I have a friend that keeps getting e-mails (unsolicited) from some clown who accuses her of sending him "suggestive" e-mails or e-mails containing "suggestive" messages. She is getting quite P.O'd. Anyone know of any inexpensive software out there that will allow my friend to track these e-mails and even identify the IP or source of the e-mails? <BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>H.

Oh man oh man. I wish! I would like this magical program too.

There is a program alled VisualRoute, it tells you the IP address and even gives you a nice map telling you to the nearest phone exchange where the e-mails are coming from. Are you sure the emails aren't just spam from some dodgy website?

Iceman, thanks!<BR><BR>My friend appreciates the information. Definitely not spam. Seems this clown was involved in some kind of stalking incident in the past.

anyone with Hotmail accounts:<BR>Have you noticed the amount of spam these days? f|_|ck everyday I login to see about 2 spam emails each day, and I cant block them because my block list is full... weird thing is I have the spam filter on

Polykranopalous, you only get two spam e-mails a day? I have a hotmail account and I get 5-10 spams a day (just in the junk mail folder). I just do a lot of deleting. It is not my main account.<BR>

Still nothing, I know someone who gets over about 60 a day cos he only opened his hotmail account for p0rn <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

This is more of a source code thing colin but if your email is listed on the pcstats page as blah@domain.tld contact your webmaster and see if he can change the email outputting routine to use the ASCII equivalent of @ instead of just @. Although a lot of website spiders are smart enough to recognize this method for formatting emails, it should deter some of them from picking your email up out of the source.
