| 85158 | 2002-10-01 23:50:00 | Hotmails IPs are 64.4.x.x if the mail didnt come from something withing that IP range, then it was send directly from the users computer. |

| 85159 | 2002-10-02 00:24:00 | Hi Chris, I copied this from the headers as you suggested but it doesn't mean anything to me Received: from 203.97.2.243 by sea2fd.sea2.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 30 Sep 2002 12:50:44 GMT X-Originating-IP: [203.97.2.243] Yes Lohsing you guessed right. I might just send a message to his account & see if there is any reply. It's hard not knowing if he was serious or not. Pauline. |

| 85160 | 2002-10-02 00:36:00 | Ok, not the full headers, but i does seem to be from a webbased account. This leads back to the question Is it possible to send a delayed message with webbased hotmail? Surely theres someone here who uses hotmail that could answer that!? |

| 85161 | 2002-10-02 00:40:00 | Hotmail can be set up to be used like a POP account from an email client, ergo almost certainly it can be set to auto-send. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 85162 | 2002-10-02 00:46:00 | Yes but surely if it was sent through an email client, it wouldn't have gone through "sea2fd.sea2.hotmail.msn.com"... refer header exert below Received: from 203.97.2.243 by sea2fd.sea2.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 30 Sep 2002 12:50:44 GMT X-Originating-IP: [203.97.2.243] |

| 85163 | 2002-10-02 01:39:00 | I traced it (Search google for Neotrace Express Download) OrgName: Asia Pacific Network Information Centre OrgID: APNIC NetRange: 202.0.0.0 - 203.255.255.255 CIDR: 202.0.0.0/7 NetName: APNIC-CIDR-BLK NetHandle: NET-202-0-0-0-1 Parent: NetType: Allocated to APNIC NameServer: ns1.apnic.net NameServer: ns3.apnic.net NameServer: ns.ripe.net NameServer: rs2.arin.net NameServer: dns1.telstra.net Comment: This IP address range is not registered in the ARIN database.

AKA - There's no IP addy now. AFAIK, It was from Asia Pacific which sounds right. If they do it again, trace it ASAP |

| 85164 | 2002-10-02 01:44:00 | OK according to honey laser >No. You are able to set up "reminders" which email you on a specified date, but thats all. I don't believe you have ever been able to do that. As this message was sent from hotmails webased system, not an email client, i could not have been time delayed. |

| 85165 | 2002-10-02 01:49:00 | Why does it have to be web-based though? It would still hav the same IP addy wouldn't it? Wether its sent from my PC via OeX of via IE and Hotmail, What about MSN Explorer??? Can that do it? Chilling_Silence |

| 85166 | 2002-10-02 02:01:00 | If it went from a email client it would get sent from 203.97.2.243 > local smtp server > paulines pop3 server > paulines comp with maybe a couple of extra steps allong the way. The posted headers show that first stop after the users computer was not the local smtp sever, but was by sea2fd.sea2.hotmail.msn.com From this i assume it was webbased, possibly an internet café or the such like. |

| 85167 | 2002-10-02 02:12:00 | I think everyone has missed the point. If you (or your daughter) has received an email from someone threatening their or anyone elses life, and you suspect it is not a hoax (ie from someone you know) then I wouldn't stuff around like this, and I would contact the local police ASAP and let them know the situation so they can check it out for you. Often, a message is a cry for attention and a wish to be stopped. Do nothing and the person may go through with it. Do something and you may save their life. For christs sake call the cops! If he is not serious, then he will get a stern telling off. If he is well... G P I don't beleive you guys - who cares if it is actually possible to autosend when the subject is this??? |
