How to find out what website my emails are coming from

-6

My boyfriend keeps getting these emails saying so and so wants to meet. Well it's not like other sites that are fake - trust me I've done my research, this site is different as it uses .org and things like this:

  • <kiypluua@ktcz.net
  • -us.ur http://Wendiegic.dating-us.ru

Tell me how I can find out what website this come from please.

check email headers in your email,if the website was bothering why not unsubscribe it?it doesnt suite this site,kindly ask at security.stackexchange – BlueBerry - Vignesh4303 – 2015-07-03T05:28:51.773

You may not be able to. An email does not need to be associated with a website. Also, just because a site is not fake does not mean that emails purporting to relate to the site are legit. Without seeing the email its impossible to provide informed comment.

That said, the first step in tracing the email is to access "Full Headers" for it, and then look at the delivery chain - paying most attention to who delivered it to your mail provider. It is then a matter of working back through that chain with the support of the senders email provider - in the unlikely event you can get it.

Depending totally on the email there are some things you may be able to do to short-circuit this process, but without the email, one can't even start to tackle that problem.
