Server and Computer Device Naming Conventions

Tracking Anonymous Emails with SpyPig
We’ve all received anonymous emails…probably multiple anonymous emails. It can be both annoying and frustrating. Wouldn’t it be great to know where these anonymous emails are coming from? Well, there is a way!
The usual method for tracking anonymous emails is to look at the header of the email. If the email is sent using a mail client like Outlook, Lotus Notes, Iphone, etc. the email header will have the router/computer ip address. If the email is sent directly from a web interface, like logging into gmail.com or yahoo.com, then the ip address of the router/computer will not be present in the header. Tracking these kinds of emails can be very tricky, but not impossible.
