very gud tutorial for mail tracing
Its a really nice tutorial, Really great for people who dunno much about how emailing systems work. Earlier it was possible only on mailing clients. Well hope countries don’t get branded for spam like the Nigeria spam.
Nice tutorial. FYI, I have the ‘old view’ for yahoo and the full headers option is located as a hyperlink in the lower right corner of the email.
Thank you very much for this information.
Good post thanks for sharing.
