Send and trace Fake/Spoofed Email (Email Spamming)

Email Travelling Path :

Let’s we have two Email providers, one is hotmail.com and other is gmail.com , XYZ is a registered user in gmail.com and ABC is a registered user in hotmail.com.

XYZ signs in to his Email account in gmail.com, he then writes a mail to the abc@hotmail.com and sends the message.
But what happens behind the curtains, the Email from the computer of xyz@gmail.com is forwarded to the Email server of gmail.com. Server of gmail.com then looks for yahoo.com on the Internet and forwards the Email of the hotmail.com for the account of abc@hotmail.com. Hotmail server puts that email in that account.
ABC then sits on computer and signs in to own Email account and see the message in Email inbox.

How to identify an received email is real or spam ?
It can be done by checking headers of recived mail. Email headers is simply the text which contains the information and path about the mail servers from the sender to receiver. It contains a lot of other information also.
We can view email headers in gmail by clicking at 'show orignal', in yahoo by clicking at 'Full headers' and such kinds of options in other email service providers .

Ex : For Gmail :

www.himstar.info

Origional Path is :

Himstar


Can we get sender's IP address from Email header?

Gmail, yahoo normally do not reveal sender's IP address. But when we send an email from a php script,  the headers might reveal Sender's IP. The conclusion is that answer to this question depend on email service providers and the way how email is sent.

Can we trace sender's location, if we get his IP address ?

The IP address could only tell that which Internet Service Provider (ISP) is used by Email sender. Normally the Public IP is dynamic that is it keep changing. We need to ask ISP about the user who was assigned that IP at the time email was sent. If sender has purchased a static IP address, he could easily be traced.
