Default Tracing 'anonymous' email
Someone's sent me some anonymous email from this address :

anonym.2f4ae4fa2f@mytrashmail.com

Any idea if its traceable ? The website it was sent from implies 'no' but the person i think sent it isnt computer literate so wouldnt know how to hide anything identifiable.

Thoughts ?

Cheers

Stuart

If he's offering you a viagara or a penis enlargement then just reply telling him that his wife didn't think you needed it. That's what I always do.

In all seriousness though if this is one of the re-mailers it's virtually impossible to trace, even if you get the police involved.
