How to trace email sender’s location

What is an email header?

Each email you receive comes with headers. The headers contain information about the routing of the message and the originating IP address of the message. Not all electronic messeges you receive will allow you to track them back to the originating point and depending on how you send messages determines whether or not they can trace an email address back to you. The headers don’t contain any personal information. At most, the results of the trace with show you the origination IP and the computer name that sent the email. After viewing the trace information, the initiating IP can be looked up to determine from where the message was sent. Remember, IP address location information DOES NOT contain your street name, house number, or phone number. The trace will most likely determine the city and the ISP the sender used.
How to enable email headers?
This process will vary on different email messaging programs that you may be using. I will cover some of the most common options here.

Your email header may look a lot different. It may be longer or shorter, or have additional information, or less. But the basic idea is that there’s a lot of information in the headers that has to do with the administration of getting the email from the sender to the receiver.

The easiest way for finding the original sender is by looking for the X-Originating-IP header, this header is important since it tells you the IP Address of the computer that had sent the email. If you can not find the X-Originating-IP header then you will have to shift through the Received headers to find the sender’s ip. Once you know the IP address of the sender, you can lookup the location using free service at ip2location.com.

7 Cool Facebook Tips and Tricks

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites people of all ages are addicted to these days. It has more than 500 million active users and more than 50% of the active users log in to their account in any given day.

 

If you use Facebook on daily basis or occasionally, chances are you’re already familiar with regular stuffs like add/delete friends, status update, walls and profile, add and explore pages & applications, etc, but there may be more features you don’t know about. Here are few cool Facebook tips and tricks you might not know.

1. Hide Status Updates From Selected People
   You can select specific friend lists to see your status or even individual people by name. To take advantage of these options, click the padlock icon just below your “what’s on your mind” box on your wall and a drop down menu should appear. Selecting “Customize” will bring up more options such as “make this visible to” and “hide from”. You can make your selection as your default setting.
2. Appear Offline to Selected Friends
   Go to Chat found at the lower right side of the page and then, click on Friends List. A small window will appear where you can type and create a new list. You could name it anything you want. In this example I named it “Blocklist”. On your newly created list, select and start dragging those names that you wish to block. Then set your status to appear offline to this particular group of friends. With this, you now appear completely invisible to them.
3. Add a Dislike Option to Your Status Update
   “Like” buttons are everywhere on Facebook, and they’re everywhere on the web. But what if you want to update your status or share something that your friends can “dislike?” We know, your friends can choose to “comment” on your post, but where’s the fun in that? The clever Status Magic Facebook app can add a dislike button to any status updates posted via the app. And if you wanted to really mix it up you can actually customize the second emotion to anything, such as “love,” “hate,” “disagree” or even “LOLs.”
4. Download Facebook Photo Albums
   FacePAD: Facebook Photo Album Downloader allows you to download your friends’ facebook albums, Events albums, and Group Albums with a single click of  button.
5. Update Facebook Without Using Facebook
   Hellotxt: You can update your status without using Facebook website. Hellotxt allows you to post your status update to most of the social networking sites including facebook.
6. Create a Photo Collage Using Pictures of Your Facebook Friends
