Hi,
We've been having 'fun' with someone posting messages from a Hotmail.com
address. My message to Hotmail about this person yielded an automatic
response, saying that all Hotmail messages included the field
"X-Originating-IP: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]"
(What can I say? It's holiday season in the USA.)
The first address was easy to read because the person had a webpage.
Today I got a message from another Hotmail address, claiming they were
getting Gardens mail. They don't seem to be subscribed to Gardens...but
they say they *are* subscribed to a different lsv.uky.edu list.
This person may be completely innocent, and coincidentally falling into the
middle of a bad situation. I hope so, but I'm too gunshy about Hotmail
addresses right now, and this address isn't as easy to read. It's the
holiday season, and I don't have as much computer time as I might have
during the workaday season.
Can anyone help me with the method/tools I need to start deciphering
Hotmail's IP fields? 206.43.209.105 is the relevant, *innocent* address in
this case.
Thanks,
