Trace the source of an e-mail

Most e-mail software have a way to show the header information, for example, in Gmail you can click the Show original option - see the example opposite.

You can paste the header text into an e-mail tracing website - it will analyse the information for you. For example:

The above website and most e-mail tracing sites will even plot where the e-mail came from in Google Maps. It can be very interesting. 

However, a word of warning, sophisticated spam e-mails may be able to fake the header text. Another problem is that the header may only show the ISP (Internet Service Provider) of the e-mail. This of course maybe enough for you, just to know which country the e-mail came from of course. The most important thing to remember is that these websites (like the one above) can give you an indication or confirmation of the source of an e-mail but don't rely on the information 100%.
