Am I correct in assuming that the mail originated from a machine with
the ip 202.9.165.75? If so, is it possible to know in which
network/isp/city the mail originated from? I did dig 202.9.165.75 and
got this answer:
brahman:/etc/apt# dig 202.9.165.75
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> 202.9.165.75

In such cases, how can one get an idea of the city/isp from where the mail
originated? Just curious to know.
