I need to know is the ways of tracing the person's IP from the email if you have all the permissions and technic stuff you need... It's hard to find information about IT security and its actual realization, so I wonder, how all the IP tracing with providers, proxies, and other things work...
If someone knew where I can find a lot of information about this subjects or have some actual experience please help me to figure this out...
I need to know all the ways and security measures that can help with this...
Depends on what internet system you use, depends on what you can do. Apart from the internet headers, you can try other administrator tools (if you are the IT administer) – DankyNanky – 2016-10-07T08:58:12.697
So the main question is "What can I do?", in case where I can have everything I need... – Zoltan Kurtyak – 2016-10-07T09:01:26.807
This depends a lot on the server that's handling the mail. If someone logged into a webmail client and sent the mail from there, you'll see the server IP as sender and might find the user IP in logs on that server. If they used SMTP there is probably a log of their IP on the SMTP server. If they sent it directly to you, you'll see their IP in the message header. Most SMTP servers add a message ID header, this can often be used to get more information from the logs. – cascer1 – 2016-10-07T09:07:44.623
@cascer1 So, where can I find more information about the ways of IP tracing in details? Not just email header overviews like in most search results? – Zoltan Kurtyak – 2016-10-07T09:15:04.163
That depends on the email server that's being used. I can't give a specific answer without knowing that. If you use Exim (quite popular), you can find more info here. If you use gmail, hotmail or some other free mail provider like that, I'm afraid you probably won't get the IP from them. If you use your own domain you might ask your host to get the IP for you.
