Can I be traced if I use my PCs
to
broadcast email
messages?
Every email sent
will have a point at which it was injected into the information stream.
Emails are always generated from a real computer from which it was sent and
can be traced by looking at the message header or by using various tracking
tools, for example: "trace route" freeware from
samspade.org
Dial-up users
IP address, although always different, each time they login into
the Internet via their ISPs account--can be easily traced, because sending email directly from a PCs (dial-up or
permanent IP) will only show one sender and receive line in the
message header.
Meaning that your ISP will have a login/logout unique
end-user logs file of that particular unique account holder--Exact TIME, DAY,
DATE, DURATION, PHONE number and LOCATION used, to broadcast emails.
