Email Headers




email header

As you may already noticed, there are three paragraphs starting with the Received tag: each of them was added to the email header by email servers, as the email travelled from the sender to the receiver. Since our goal is to see who sent it, we only care about the last one (the blue lines).

By reading the Receving From tag, we can notice that the email was sent via corporate2.fx.ro, which is the ISP domain of the sender, using the IP 193.231.208.28. The email was sent using SMTP ("with ESMTP id") from the mail server called mail.fx.ro.

Looking further into the message, you will see the tag called X-Originating-IP: this tag normally gives the real IP address of the sender. The X-Mailer tag says what email client was used to send the email (on our case, the email was sent using FX Webmail).

Return-path: the header tells that if you reply to this email message, the reply will be sent to bogdan@fx.ro.
