How to find ip address of email sender of yahoo mail or gmail?
Just a thought - If you are looking for the IP in order to track down a spammer or something similar - better report the email address directly to yahoo or gmail.
One more issue is that if the IP used to send the mail is/was dynamic, it can possibly help you only aproximately geo-locate the sender, nothing more.
There is a technique that sometimes works, and it's a well-known trick used by spammers.
Reply to the email with an HTML email that includes an image hosted by a server you control, with a unique query string in the URL. If the person opens the email AND displays images, your image will load. You can see which IP address loaded the image, and match that with the email address where you sent the image. Of course, even if this works it will give you the IP address where they read your message, not the one from which they sent the first email. This trick is the main reason that email programs check before they load images now.
You could also sue them, get a subpeona and force Google or Yahoo to get the IP address from their logs.
Looking at the mail headers, you can see who sent it and the host IP, but sender IP addresses aren't included in the header.
You need to look into the mail header which is where you can find the ip address.
Edit: Funny that this was the correct answer but was the only one that got a negative vote. You can go to this link to find out more http://aruljohn.com/info/howtofindipaddress/#gmail and to use some scripts that will make it easier for you. But in short, the IP address can usually be found in the header. Reading the header is different for every email provider so you will have to read to find out how. Some email services such as Google will never share the sender IP. But I've heard that if a sender uses a mail client such as Thunderbird, that the IP can always be tracked, haven't tested it yet though. Good luck!
It's quite easy to track the IP address.
And to track address of sender first we need to retrieve IP address is the sender from the mail and then convert that IP address in location with help of no of websites which offer this feature.
It's a different process for both Yahoo and gmail and putting whole steps will take around 70 lines so I an just putting it's link I found on a website

I want to check if the mail id exists or not. I tried smtp/helo to the server, but it is not 100% accurate. I want 100% accuracy so the best solution I check online is to send mail to a person, which I am fine with it, but there is one problem: my IP will be blacklisted. Is there any way to send an email without my IP being blacklisted?
I think that if I connect to a VPN and send an email, my IP address will not be blacklisted.
At least I want to verify 200 mail per day
Please share any thoughts you have.
I have built numerous small applications in GAS, some of which send emails. I need to know what IP address these emails will register as being sent from.
Here's a solution by #Serge insas on how to get your ip address.
In summary: access the raw content of a message using message.getRawContent() and filter for X-Originating-IP
They come from your google/gmail address.
If I have a temporary email address that hides a real address, would it be possible for someone to find out the real address?
One possible way I can think of could be tracking a read receipt by sending over a pixel by pixel image and tracking the email address that loads it.
Are there any other ways or would this be pretty good at hiding the address from spammers?
No, you usually can't identify the "real address" behind a temporary one, unless the recipient replies to your message using its real email address (whether it's a manual response, or an automatic one like a read receipt).
That's especially true when your temporary email address is provided by a disposable email provider. However, if your temporary address is indeed an alias on the same email server as the real address, the SMTP VRFY command may be used to resolve an alias to its real email address. But that SMTP feature is disabled on most email server, for obvious security reasons.
As CBroe pointed out, including an image or a link in your email wouldn't help you finding the real email address. Because mail content would be HTML, displayed by the brower, and not at all related to the email context. At most, it would tell you that the email was received and its content scanned. That's not even a guarantee that a human opened it, since some antispam filters resolve URLs to ensure they're not a threat.
I am building an app that incorporates Postmark App's Incoming Email capability to keep a threaded list of replies to an email. Their documentation suggests adding the post ID to the reply-to address - for example reply+POSTID#domain.com. However, when I attempt to use this method with cPanel, the emails are bounced back.
I have reply#domain.com set up, without adding the post ID the email is forwarded to the Postmark App inbox address, adding the ID breaks it. Is there any way to do this in a WHM/cPanel environment? It is a VPS account so I have full access if there is another way to tackle this.
Are the messages bounced back from Postmark or is it a cpanel error? I can probably help you out there! Do you have an MX record setup for Inbound via http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-inbound-mx.html ? Once you have that going Postmark will accept messages from any address on that domain and parse off the addresses with + chars in them. Are we sure cpanel can handle email addresses with special characters?
I am trying to send a spoofed email using gmail. before people freak out, no I am not spamming anybody (if you have to know why, an explanation is below). Using this question and answer, I was able to send a test email to myself with a spoofed to address (it appeared as I wanted), however, regardless of what I enter in the MAIL FROM field or the From: field in the DATA, it always appears from the address I used to authenticate.
My question is whether it's possible to spoof the from address as well. The goal would be for the from address to appear as something other than an email address. (again, explanation is below)
EXPLANATION
For those who want to know why I am doing this, my brother recently got promoted, and he and I are both fans of the show How I Met Your Mother. As such, I would like to send him a The Bro Code approved congratulatory email, which is required to be of the form:
To: Bro
From: Bro
Subject: Bro!
Nice, Bro!
Therefore, I need the From address to appear to be simply "Bro"
I believe the short answer is no.
Email headers are just text, so if you are using sendmail or something, you can use whatever you want. However, it might (see: will likely) end up in his spam folder.
Gmail needs to protect it's reputation, so they will always add a breadcrumb to say who actually sent the email. For instance, you can setup gmail to send email "from" non-gmail addresses, but the message will be sent from your gmail address "on behalf" of your non-gmail address.
