In-Depth Information
This section is reported when tracing an email message you have received, and includes helpful information for identifying the sender of an email message, and/or evaluating the validity of an email message.
The in-depth details include the IP address of the computer where the email message originate, the email address and other pieces of information that may be helpful in identifying the sender or the sender's intent. For example, a common trick deployed by the originators of email abuse (such as spam, phishing and virus emails) is to insert false headers into the email in an attempt to hide the source of the message. The real headers and false headers get muddled together, creating a sort of ‘digital smoke screen' so it is difficult to know which header is the originating header. This process of trying to hide the originator is an illegal act called misdirection . eMailTrackerPro sees through this technique, identifies which headers are real and false, and reports the act of misdirection. You can be sure that any email with misdirection should not be trusted.
The in-depth details also reports the computer name when available, which is another important clue to the target's identity as it is common for computer owners to use their own name or online alias for their computer name. |
