I keep receiving e-mails saying they are from UPS service and have a false tracking number on them. The message header is below: Received: from tacoma.com (79.193.17.186) by mail.txhealthcare.com (10.100.6.22) with Microsoft SMTP Server id 14.1.270.1; Mon, 23 May 2011 10:45:15 -0500 Message-ID: <000e01cc1960$65cc4a46$6605a8c0@Jockel> From: USPS Priority Mail <usps.priority@tacoma.com> Obviously a spammer

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
