Hi,
My Wife has been receiving quite rude emails and we think it's from someone she sacked at work some time ago. Obviously I have no way of proving this and am not really bothered. However it is really upsetting her and I wanted to prove to her that it is this sad individual. I have the originating IP address and have done a search on 'Whois' but all it tells me is that it comes from someone using "blueyonder"
My question....is there any way I can find out any more details ?
Incidentally the IP address is 82.34.200.25
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks very much for the speedy response but I was hoping that I could find out a local area from which it comes, (Not sure that's even possible ?)Education is compulsory, school is not.

Are they personalised, addressing issues or people known to you? Doesn't the email address give you a clue?
You aren't going to be able to get more than the ISP (unless they are running without a firewall and router)

Nah the email is fairly obviously a new/temp one (hotmail) so no clues there at all.Education is compulsory, school is not.

is the informatio i got from the iP lookup
which as it is a blueyonder server mean that it is a private residence rather than business - obv it is not to sure about the precise location and the person could be hiding behind a proxy server
is your wife using a yahoo/hotmail herself - if so just block/spam0 -
