Track emails - does that work?

Annoying advertisements or spam emails often come from unknown addresses. In this practical tip, we will tell you whether you can trace these emails back to the actual sender.

Track emails - is that possible?

• Many spam e-mails often use unknown e-mail addresses for sending, so that they cannot be traced.
• Therefore, you can often not find out who is behind this email to unsubscribe.
• If you want to trace the email, you can often do this with great difficulty.
• Because the source code of every email hides the IP address from which the email was sent.
• You can trace this IP address back in order to determine the provider and, if applicable, the associated website.
• However, for data protection reasons, you often receive very little information about the actual origin of the mail.
• Although there are numerous tools on the Internet that you can use to track the email, fraudsters are often hidden here.
