Finding someone's IP address

[sowmiya]

Yes it is possible. Locate the IP address of someone who sent you an email by checking their email header. Most email headers are hidden from view, but your email client should have a way for you to make it visible. Email headers are always delivered with every email, so check with your email client for display options if you can’t see the headers. For example, if you are using outlook express, open the message and go to the File menu. Select Properties > Details > Message Source, then copy and paste the message source into a new message. If you use AOL as your email client, open the message and click “Details” in the top portion of the email, directly underneath the “To” line. You are looking for a line that begins “Received: from sally.aol.com (74.54.246.39)”. If you only see one “Received.from” line, the grouping of four sets of numbers in parentheses is the sender’s IP address. Sometimes you will see more than one ‘Received.from” line, which means that your email went through multiple email servers or a spammer is trying to confuse things and hide their IP address. If you have more than one “Received.from” line in an email sent by someone you know, it is most likely that the last “Received.from” line in the header contains the IP address of the sender. If fake information has been inserted by a spammer, you will need to take a few extra steps to find their real IP address. Start from the last "Received: from" line and trace the message path up through the header. The location listed as “by” in each "Received" header should match the next "from" location listed in the following "Received" header. Ignore any entries that contain IP addresses or domain names that do not match up with the rest of the header chain. The last "Received: from" line with valid information is the line with the sender's true address. You can get the ip address by giving the domain name & chk from http://www.ip-details.com/
