Since must of you guys have excellent skills concerning data and internet I hope you can answer me.
I have got a lot of spam lately, especially from 3 adresses. I have blocked them now, but my question is this; Is it possible to track the computer(s) who is spreading this shit? The physical location. Is it possible?

Get the domain name and enter it into whois.com to find out more info. If you really really want to know where it comes from in the future, buy yourself a domain and have all mail forwarded to a master account. So after you do this, you can have the first part of the email say anything, like iheartmob@yourdomain.com and it'll end up in your master account. So what I do is, if I'm at Target and they ask me for my email addie, I tell them target@yourdomain.com. If it's my house/car insurance, I tell them metlife@yourdomain.com. Down the road, when I get junk mail delivered from some crazy addie and it's addressed to target@yourdomain.com, I know that Target sells email addresses to people at that point. I guess all and all, it doesn't solve anything, but I do it so I know in the future what company should get my money and those who shouldn't. This also confirms my lack of faith in humanity. biggrin.gif
