About the only thing you can do is track through the "Received" headers of the message to see which server(s) the message has passed through. That will at least give you an idea of which ISP it was sent from. Some servers wil also include the IP address of the original client that sent the message. But there is no single direct way to validate the email address of the sender, without access to the server-side logs. > And is it be possible for somebody else to send an email > where the from field is filled with my email ? Yes. Spammers fake that all the time. Gambit
