I am interested in putting a email header analyzer on my website, to help people understand where an email they received may have come from – what IP and general area. Is that something you can help with?
Thank you,

liani, the IP address in most cases is the external address of a given residence. My ISP assigned one, and my home router allows me to have multiple machines behind that one IP. I have seen in some cases where a single IP does belong to a single host machine. Mail servers have their own IP as well, but it might not be a publicly networked one. I recommend reading up on internal IP’s and external IP’s.
hi… if someone sends an email away from their home, where their original IP address is located, like go another 200 miles away…and they are using wireless, would they be sending email from a different IP address? youa re so helpful… i thankyou
The second IP address all depends on the Wireless Access Point they connect to. But most likely yes, it would be a different IP. My home network has a single external facing IP. If I went down the street to a Starbucks and used the free wifi there, I would be seen on a different IP. The easiest way to test for yourself is to browse to whatismyipaddress.com from home, and then again from a nearby location, and you will see 2 separate IP addresses between the two locations.

does an IP address belong to an individual computer location or is it the location of its server?
