see if he can trace the message by msgID. If he can, go to the next one back. Speaking of which I have always been curious as to how to trace an e-mail by msgID. Because obviously when I cat my /var/log/mail I can see the msgID but from there what to do with it in order to get the full headers or trace the sender always beats me.

hi i recently got a mail which i *suspect* must have been spoofed (i think, from my classmates) but i can't say it beyond doubt. The info i garnered from the mail, including my email address itself (incase u have noticed,i got an MX recently), the contents of it are rather suspicious. But unfortunately the headers are quite ordinary, and it came from a webmail account, so i cant get any ident, finger , nothing on it. Is there any way , i can legitimately check whether the email was spoofed or not ?
regards omicron
