Hello.
How can I find the IP address of email sender via email header? I copy and paste the header of email to some sites like "http://whatismyipaddress.com/trace-email" or "http://www.ip2location.com/free/email-tracer" but I can't fine the IP address of sender :(
Andy idea?

Thank you.

If I remember correctly the ip should be in the header itself. You shouldn't need any tools or anything to get the ip. But I have been out the scene a while so things may have changed.

Just manually look through the header for IP addresses. Can you say how you're obtaining the header, just to make sure you're getting the right thing?

You can find it in the mail header yourself using text editor. pls go ahead

It is the IP address of mail server not sender.

In the following steps you'll learn how to find and copy an email header and paste it into the Trace Email Analyzer to get the sender's IP address and track the source.

Would you like to track down (or trace) where an email that you received came from?

This Trace Email tool can help you do precisely that. It works by examining the header that is a part of the emails you receive to find the IP address. If you read the IP Lookup page, you'll get a clear idea of what information an IP address can reveal.

(A header is the unseen part of every sent and received email. To learn a little bit more on headers, click here. You can see an example of a header at the end of this article.)

Don't be retarded and dig your grave even deeper.


OP, most popular email providers hide the other user's IP in the header, and replace it with the mail server which processes the request. It's pretty hard to get an IP now without using an IP logger or something.
