Trace Email

The email tracing tool thoroughly analyzes the full email header to extract the IP addresses of each mail server the message passed through, including the sender’s originating IP. It maps the routing path and provides geographic information for each IP. This helps identify where the email originated, detect potential spam or phishing sources, and assist with cybersecurity or investigative tasks. The tool simplifies this process by parsing complicated header data and presenting it in a clear, user-friendly format.

Yes, as long as the email headers include valid and complete routing information, the tool can trace its path. Most email services embed ‘Received’ headers, which record each mail server the message touched. However, some email clients or webmail services may omit or obfuscate these headers, limiting tracing accuracy. In general, if the full headers are available, our tool can generate a detailed trace.

Yes, email header tracing is entirely legal when performed for legitimate reasons like security, anti-spam efforts, or personal investigation. It’s widely used by IT professionals, cybersecurity teams, and even law enforcement to identify malicious actors or verify suspicious emails. That said, it should be done responsibly and ethically, without infringing on privacy or using the information for unauthorized surveillance. Our tool does not store any user-submitted header data and is privacy-centric.
