How to check ip address for attempting mail

To check the IP address of a device attempting to send an email, you can use various methods depending on your email provider or email client. Here are a few ways to do so:

Method 1: Check your email provider's settings

  1. Log in to your email account on your provider's website (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo).
  2. Look for settings or options related to "spam filtering" or "security".
  3. Check if there's an option to view the IP address of the sender or the device attempting to send an email.

Method 2: Use your email client's settings

  1. Open your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird).
  2. Go to the settings or options menu.
  3. Look for settings related to "spam filtering" or "security".
  4. Check if there's an option to view the IP address of the sender or the device attempting to send an email.

Method 3: Use a third-party email header analyzer tool

  1. Find an online email header analyzer tool, such as Email Header Analyzer or Header Analyzer.
  2. Enter the email headers (you can usually find these by clicking on the "View" or "Details" button in your email client).
  3. The tool will analyze the headers and provide information about the IP address of the sender or the device attempting to send the email.

Method 4: Use a command-line tool (for advanced users)

  1. Use a command-line tool like telnet or dig to query the DNS records of the sender's domain.
  2. Use a tool like nslookup to query the IP address of the sender's domain.
  3. Use a tool like whois to query the WHOIS database for information about the sender's IP address.

Here are some examples of command-line tools and their usage:

Keep in mind that some of these methods may require technical expertise, and not all email providers or clients may provide access to this information. Additionally, some email senders may use proxy servers or other techniques to mask their IP address, making it more difficult to determine the actual IP address.
