Trace Email
Trace any email to find where it came from and check if it’s real or fake.
When an email is sent to a recipient, an email goes through a number of mail servers to reach the final destination. Each time an email passes through a mail server, mail header is added with server's IP address. To trace your email source, you'll have to find email header first. Depending on type of email client you use, locating the email header may require slightly different steps but every email comes with a header so you should be able to find it.
Use the space provided below to paste your email header, and click Submit button. We'll analyze your email header, and provide you with sender's IP and loaction. Not all email headers use same pattern, so it may be possible that the script may not detect the IP address. In such case, you may submit the contact us form.
