SpamCop

The Black Widows recently came across this site, SpamCop, http://www.spamcop.com/help_with_headers/ which explains how to display the headers in an e-mail to see where the e-mail actually came from. What is a header? It's the "behind the scenes" information that users don't generally see that tells one computer how and where to route an e-mail. With the proliferation of "phishing" e-mails that attempt to get users to give up their account information, it's important to know how to more closely look at where an e-mail is coming from. The Black Widows recommend this quick tutorial on how to view header information to all their readers.
