Internet email & IP origin.

  • How do I find the name of the person to whom a hotmail email address is registered and where it's originating IP is located?


  • Hi, Well I am sure there is not way to fine it rather asking Hotmail itself to traceout the users information, because whenever user creates his/her account in hotmail or other mail providing servers, they catch the record of its IP. Cheers!!! Sanjay


  • Hi murfoda, You typically can't *reliably* determine to whom a Hotmail account is registered unless the account owner is listed in the MSN Member Directory. You can *sometimes* find out through reverse lookup services, but these are not foolproof. I can provide you with a number of reverse lookup services to try and teach you how to read your e-mail headers to determine the originating IP location, though, if you find that sufficient. --Missy


  • I didn't think it would be possible to determine the IP address of the originator of an email sent from a Hotmail account, but I just sent myself a message from my Hotmail account and when it arrived at my Yahoo! account, and also at my ISP account, I checked the full headers and I saw my IP address: X-Originating-IP: [68.106.xx.xxx] (partially x-ed out here because the exact value is irrelevant to the discussion) So if you still have the message around, check the headers. If you're using Outlook Express, you can just right-click on the message in your Inbox and do: Properties, Details, Message Source, and there it is! Note that the email sender might have been using a proxy or anonymizer to access Hotmail, and this would make any such IP address useless. Or they could have been using a public library, Internet caf , etc., making the IP address at least semi-useless. But if you're dealing with a (...not sure of the right word: na ve? innocent?...) user, it may work.
