tried using your instruction to trace it. I did trace it and found out it came from a university. The "Whois" ip gave me information about my university network. So, I couldn't trace further to the particular building or address within the university. How can I trace this further to the original origin. ey ! very interesting blog , i m using hotmail account and i want to know how to track an email received on a hotmail account. I want to track an email that I received on my hotmail account but I don't know how to do it. Someone had told me that I should go to the "options", click "message display settings" and i'll find full headers there. But i couldn't find any "message display settings", so there's no way to find full headers. is there a way to track such a mail? how can this be done? I find this very interesting real or not. I had a WEBTV and if I were to press forward I could easily see the IP listed but I now I switched to MSNTV2 and I can't do it anymore. Does anyone have any ideas? I've been developing on a lot of geo tracking reports based on IP address for the email list manager @ listrocket.com. There are a few good ip info services out there and I would recommend ipmango.com for quick lookups. If you want to automate ip lookups, check out the api @ maxmind.com. Both are free
