Subject:Ferreting out the Kooky sender
From:Pensioner
Date:Thu, 25 Jan 2007 11:43:14 -0800

When you see the message, check the message header ( In Outlook, highlight
but do not open the message, right click select options and you will see a
window which has the message headers.)  Copy this to a convenient notepad
file and look at the 'from'.  You will find IP addresses AND a domain say
Yahoo.Com or gorabbit.uk.  You can then use the "whois" website to get the
details on the domain.  Not likely the Kookymathteacher.  You can add the
domain to your junk mail senders list.

Opening the message can cause problems if there is executable code in it.
So if you don't recognize the sender, check the header without opening the
message.  If the source is suspect, SHIFT-DELETE to permanently delete the
message.

Now back to your regularly scheduled political progamming.
