How can I find the exact geo location of an email sender or that impossible?
I'm just learning a bit about email and original source ,but not enough to fully understand it.
You have an IP - which there is many sites that trace that ,but every site shows you a different answer so its not accurate.
Then theres SMTP and ESMTPSA .
If someone could explain what or if how you actually locate.
Thanks :)

It is exceedingly unlikely a person has a public mail server in their house.
My mail may come from Canada or the US at my discretion. You cannot figure out the house from this. Not even remotely possible.
The IP addressing would point to the mali supplier - not me.

Since you are learning, use MXToolBox.com Email header analyzer which would give more understanding on how the email flew from one host to another until it reached your email provider.

Stuff like MX Toolbox (I use that) will NOT answer your question "How can I find the exact geo location of an email sender ?"
You cannot do what you want. No way.

@Rose ke - This question has been abandoned. You CANNOT find the exact location with an IP address. I posted that last month.
Example every house has a postal code or zip , is an Ip like that ?
