Email Owner Record If you have been receiving annoying or threatening emails, this is your opportunity to stop those emails. If you need to search for people, go to Start your search What we do : The Locate4me Email Owner Service searches for the domain owner of an email address and often the owner of the email account, if available. The domain owner information provides the domain administrator's contact phone number and email address to send complaints. It is your responsibility to send your complaint to the domain administrator. We have provided this search service in response to many requests to help victims of spam, harassments and threats. Note: While we can also find many email account listings, others may not be found because the owners have declined to publish the email address or the email addresses are fake email addresses that may have been sent to you by anonymous senders. You will be charged even if no email owner records are found, so please consider this before submitting your search. What do I send the domain administrator when filing a complaint? You need to send your suspect email message header. In the header is the sender's true IP address. Also, state the nature of your complaint and what action you want taken. What is an IP address? Typically, the IP address reveals the ISP provider (the company used by someone to connect their computer to the internet) used by the sender of the email. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on the internet. Networks that use internet network protocol, send messages based on the IP address of the originator and destination. The format of an IP address is a numbered address written as numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.234.255.000 could be an IP address. When you receive an email, the sender's IP address is contained in a special header field that you normally do not see. If you use Microsoft Outlook (tm) email, highlight the email message in your inbox folder, right click and select options. You will see the header. For information to access headers with other email programs, use the help information supplied with your email program to search for "header" and follow the instructions. You will need to "copy and paste" the header into your email message to send to the domain administrator email address that you will receive from us. What does a header look like: In a typical header you may observe the following information, the actual format varies somewhat with the email software used:
You will find the IP address of the computer that sent the message by inspecting the second line of the above example. The highlighted number 10.164.39.000 is the IP address of sender jzmitholi@anydomain.com. Sometimes, the sender's email address name may be not be the real email address of the sender, in other words, it may be fictitious or another person's email address. In this case, the IP address is the only true indicator of the sender's location. Once you have the header with its IP address, you can submit the header to the domain administrator to file a complaint. What is return address spoofing? Spoofing is using a fraudulent email return address. Virus mail might show the email address of a friend yet have a completely different return address. Note in the above header the "Return-path" and "Received: from". In our example, the email addresses for both were the same (jzmitholi@anydomain.com). They should normally be the same. If the domain names are different ( the letters following the @ symbol) and you do not know the sender, don't download any files contained within the message or better yet, don't open the email, especially if you do not have an anti-virus program running !!!
