I already made some researches about this subject on the interwab, but I couldn't find what I wanted.
Here is the point.
I'm a beginner highly interested onto web security and something blew my mind.
I had a mail from someone (so I know that this is a living person) and I tried to get his IP address.
I found some useless IP like his server (google) and some other, but, some of them were interesting.
They were part of the 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 range
So far, the trackers I used either show me the ocean, or told me that they were untraceable.
Could someone light my head up on this ? What are those IP address, and why can't I track them down ?
Here is the source code I extracted from the mailing page :
Return-Path: herEmailAddress@gmail.com //adress and IP voluntary hidden.

This is the very first time I'm seeing this kind of thing..
Thanks for your consideration!

is a private IP address so you cannot locate it. – DavidPostill – 2015-08-19T10:00:12.960If someone sends email using mail.google.com you cannot find their location. – DavidPostill – 2015-08-19T10:01:07.850
But, why does Google hides their IP address while other email providing services does not ? – Xcrowzz – 2015-08-19T10:02:48.497
I guess for sender's privacy – burtek – 2015-08-19T11:02:05.183
send them an email (perhaps from a different account) with a link to a website that you control. If they click the link, you can get their (router's) IP – Neil McGuigan – 2015-08-19T18:49:02.083
