Posting this for a friend. He's been getting harassing emails. Any way to track an IP or find out who it is??

Thanks~~~~

Theres no way to do it by yourself. You can maybe send an email to your domain (ie hotmail,gmail support) and ask them to permanently block that email. If it keeps happening you can contact your local police and they will give u advice. But no, you cannot use tools and hack your way into the system to find out who it is. ALso, if its not really serious, ( your hair looks ugly ) than you cant do anything about it. =) its happened to my friend too, turns out he exaggerated quite a bit and all he got was a big laugh from the police station.

Most providers include the sender IP in the headers, although some web mail providers remove it. Look for the last "Received:" line in the mesage headers. From there you can contact the abuse address of the ISP in question.

Is it from one email or multiple emails? If it's from one email can't he just block emails from that person?

if it's from someone he knows, blocking it may not stop physical harassment (in school, etc). but if you cant block the IP or the email, you can just ignore them.

and btw, rich's icon is fuckin awesome

I'd reply with an e-mail each time the person harassed me... something like:

I have changed my e-mail to x@y.com. This is an automatic response. After 3/25/09 this e-mail box will no longer be checked.

what a friend did once was host an image on his on server, he then posted the image in an email and sent it to a person. When the person opened the email, they downloaded the image from his server. Which in turn, logged his ip adress.

Yep, this works. I looked into this in detail last week when I had to forge a mail for university, but Rich was faster obviously.

I think there are services which you can subscribe to that use a similar principle to tell if your email has been read, how long the person spent reading it, and how many times they read it. Its supposed to be used for like followups for job interviews or marketing or w/e. I don't know if they give you the ip.
Do you really want chat rooms?
