Posted by: Oliver at November 19, 2005 6:46 AMCan you find out the other person's ip from an email they sent you?
Posted by: Elle at December 17, 2005 2:02 PMIt depends ... sometimes you can. This article has more: http://ask-leo.com/how_can_i_trace_where_email_came_from.html
Posted by: Leo at December 17, 2005 7:16 PMI came across a website that discouraged against posting slanderous comments about a famous person stating that sometimes their lawyer would call up and request the IP address of the poster.
Is this a 'scare tactic' or can they really tell who posted comments based on their IP address?
Posted by: L.A. Woman at January 2, 2006 1:12 PMIt's both. For example there was an IP address reported with your comment here (68.x.x.x) and from that I can see you're on adelphia.net. But to go any futher I'd need adelphia.net's help - which I cannot get, but I believe law enforcement can.
