Subject: e-mail message source

Hello everybody:

How do I obtain the e-mail source of the incoming mails in pine? For
example, one can always send mails to anyone using Netscape Mail or port
25 of any system and can write any e-mail address, so is there a way to
trace out from which server the mail actually was delivered from?

Regards,
Mohit

yes, go into the pine config screen and scroll down to find the option --
enable full header cmd.  Once that is enabled, when you are viewing your
message, you can simply type the "h" key and it will display all the headers
that were inserted from the origin of the message.

You normally read email headers from bottom to top.

hope that helps

Trace the Received: headers. http://spamcop.net/ is a good site for this
(make sure you don't actually report the email as spam).

Also check the X-* headers, sometimes they contain UI.

In Pine, to turn on Full Headers, do this:
 1. Set enable-full-header-cmd
 2. Go to the folder index containing the message you want to trace.
 3. Hit h do enable full headers.
 4. View message.
 5. Toggle full and normal headers by hitting h anytime in folder index or
view message screens.

HTH.
