How to track the original location of an email via its IP address

Highlighted by mfox04

Here’s a quick how-to guide on how you can track email to it’s originating location by figuring out the email’s IP address and looking it up. I have found this to be quite useful on many occasions for verification purposes since I receive lots of emails daily due to my blog. Tracking the IP address of an email sender does require looking at some technical details, so be ready to dig your heels in! There are basically two steps involved in the process of tracking an email: find the IP address in the email header section and then look up the location of the IP address.

My favorites are IP2Location and GeoBytes IP Locator. GeoBytes gave me a big map of New Orleans, LA
