Wanna Play Detective?

[catelin]

I need a techie type person to help with a case I'm working on. I've got an e-mail that was sent from a postmaster.co.uk address and I think I may have some info that would help track it down, or at least narrow down to an ISP. If you need more, I can probably get more with a court order. This would just be helping me figure out where to go with this, you wouldn't ever actually be subpoenaed to testify or anything, but I could definitely use some assistance on this. We can e-mail more about it today if you can help. Thanks!!

if you can forward me all the headers from the message (they should be in the message if you use whatever show all headers option you have in your mail program)that should tell me a bunch, otr just look at them and i can tell you what headers to look for. what mail software & server are you using?

I'll send you everything I have from my work email, C. Coming your way now.

Hey, if you tried to send something, can you send it again? All I have is a blank page. My email's wonky this morning for some reason. Or you can send it to my ccompton@gvtc.com address, if that's easier.

Send me the headers, and I'll tell you where it came from. I do it all the time when tracking down spammers.

Are you filing your fingers while they're dragging the lake?

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Good luck with your case.)

Hehe! I would if I could! It's no huge crime of the century...just a dipshit that needs a little misdemeanor action. We're making great progress though! ; )

Ack! I even screwed up the damn Elvis Costello lyrics....nails, not fingers.

I've gone over 12 hours without caffeine and the toll is becoming visible. Must. Consume. Mocha. Now.
