Title: internet email header question





I often get confused when looking at these headers and I was wondering if anyone could help describe exactly what this means to me. I'm trying to determine where the source of the spam is coming from on this particular email. The part that is confusing me is where it is received by two different servers, first by my server (noelani.mailcode.com) from server2000.kunchien.idv.tw and then again by that server from mailin-01.mx.aol.com. Even on legitimate email messages it usually has two received by lines (like my bottom example), but that makes more sense to me since my server has the later date/time stamp, unlike the first example. Unless I'm reading the data/time wrong. If anyone can explain it to me that would be great (either online or offline) and/or point me in the right direction to figure it out myself. Thanks a lot.

Allen, go to www.samspade.org and download Sam Spade for 
Windows. It's a great utility that will help you track info in headers, 
etc. FYI, it won't work if you're inside a Proxy, but you can run it on 
the Proxy server and it will work then.
Good 
luck.
