post Category: Spam & Bulk Mail — admin @ 10:52 pm — post


I want to see the full headers and footers of the email I receive. There was an email in my spam box, it had my own email address advertising medicine… I wonder if someone raded my email and used it to spam? I want to see where this email was generated, where it came from and how can it have my own email address as the sender? Nobody has access to my computer, they may have hacked into it some other way.

In new mail - click on the subject to open read pane. At the right it says “compact header”. Click on little triangle and select “full header”.

In classic mail - click on the subject to open read pane. At the bottom right click on “full headers”.

Anyone with a separate email program can use any name or address for the FROM address. I could change my name and address in seconds in Thunderbird to anything. It in no way indicates a problem. Spammers do it to keep mail from being returned to them. There is no way for you to stop it. You also can’t mark it as spam or you block yourself.
