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.
