Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a problem. &nbsp;I have been receiving strange emails within my Hotmail account from some unknown individual. &nbsp;These messages contain rude details and i am very much interested in tracking down the culprit behind them. &nbsp;However, when i view each message's Header Details so as to identify the Originating IP adress i ALWAYS find that the IP address is actually MINE (or some fake one that is NOT a proxy)...now obviously i am not the originating person who is sending these rude emails so it is clear that this other person (hacker) is &quot;Modifying&quot; these message headers in a way so that his REAL IP address is hidden so i cannot take action. &nbsp;Is a hacker able to modify Hotmail Message Header's so that his IP Address as seen in the message is actually changed to my IP Address when i receive it? &nbsp;I notice that this person is NOT using a Proxy so that is not the case.<br />
<br />
Is there information on the net (url's) that i can refer to that helps better educate me on how a hacker was able to do this and how one can go about tracking this person (or protecting oneself against).<br />
<br />
Thanks very much<br />

Hi,

I have a problem.  I have been receiving strange emails within my Hotmail account from some unknown individual.  These messages contain rude details and i am very much interested in tracking down the culprit behind them.  However, when i view each message's Header Details so as to identify the Originating IP adress i ALWAYS find that the IP address is actually MINE (or some fake one that is NOT a proxy)...now obviously i am not the originating person who is sending these rude emails so it is clear that this other person (hacker) is "Modifying" these message headers in a way so that his REAL IP address is hidden so i cannot take action.  Is a hacker able to modify Hotmail Message Header's so that his IP Address as seen in the message is actually changed to my IP Address when i receive it?  I notice that this person is NOT using a Proxy so that is not the case.

My Hotmail Hacker is Hiding his IP Address...HOW?!?

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
