e-mail and country of origin

Hi All
Is there a way one can find out the country an e-mail originated from? I did google but it takes me to sites that look dodgy.

Sometimes. If you are happy to share it, forward it to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

If your email provider has provision for you to look at the origin, you can usually get the IP address off that. then goto ip-lookup.net/ and choose
IP Address Lookup (IPv4 & IPv6)
Scroll down and you can see a window to put the IP address into and up will come the country of origin. plus other information. I recently took a spammer off a site I Administrate, which was listed as being a USA member, but clearly was not as this example shows.

If it opens directly, take out your own IP address which will appear in the window.

Hi Aquila and Stikkibeek
Thank you. Aquila-I do not mind sending the e-mail to you but I understand that forwarding it to you will only give you info on my service provider. Let me know if that is not the case. Stikkibeek- am giving your suggestions a go. Will let you know if I am successful.

Hi Stikkibeek
Used my hot mail address and got the Ip off it and used the web site you suggested. It came up as server located in USA!!!

If your emailer is using any of gmail, live, hotmail, etc., then the server will be US.

I use this IP lookup site regularly: www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx

Thank you Ruth.
