MSN Hotmail will need this information to identify the true origin of the junk e-mail message you received.
- Look for this line of text in the message header: X-originating-IP. For example:
Sat 02 June 2001 13:47:27 PST X-Originating IP: [123.4.567.89] From: "False Address" falseaddress001@hotmail.com
- Look for this line of text in the message header: X-Originating-Email. For example:
X-Originating-Email: [falseaddress001@hotmail.com]
From: "False Address"
falseaddress001@hotmail.com - If you are unable to locate an X-originating-IP line in the header of the message, this indicates the message has been forged and is not from a legitimate account. Unfortunately, we are unable to take action against this account because it does not implicate a member.
- If the message header contains an “X-Originating-IP” line, forward a complete copy of the message (including the full message header) to report_spam@hotmail.com.
