Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting here, and I have a question to ask. My work email account has been bombarded by viruses, as well as a couple other people I work with, and I know the person sending them has to know us all because of the fictisious names used as the senders. Is there a way to find out where the sourse is?
This is an example of what shows as the sender...sdorer@ehsf.org [sdorer@ehsf.org]...I know this is not the actual senders email account because it is mispelled. Unfortunately there is no ip address that I can find.

Please help!!!!

Thanks.

just look at the full header of your email. While the sender's email is easy to fake, the senders IP address will always be there unless they send it through an anonymous remailer.

Hi Dear Friends
i am receiving mails....As replies...i mean i received mails with the subject marked as Re. but i have not send them mails... so what does it shows , others people r using my hotmail account n my account is being hacked
please can u provide me assistant in this regard

it's easy to alter the sender's email to make it appear like someone else sent the email. For example, I could send out an email with the sender's email address as Bill_Gates@microsoft.com or any other email address I want. Of course, if you look at the IP address in the full header of the email to find out where the email really originated from, then it's usually straightforward and easy to spot forged email addresses.

but how ?
