Scott, thanks very much. I think it may be South Korea. I have a cleitn who is having email sent with her name in the display field and her name in the subject field to everyone in her address book and it is coming from that IP. For example if her name was Jane Doe the display field would read "Jane Doe" and the subject line would be something like "From Jane Doe". The reply to email field is aseemingly legit email address that is not familiar to her. The spam was sent to every address in her contacts. She uses Yahoo and access her email from a variety of locations (I know, I have lectured her about that), and it doesn't look like her account is being used for this, but the contact addresses came from it. I am pretty concerned about this because I am worried that since her name appears in the subject line of this spam automatic spam traps will associate the string of characters in her name and get her real email on some sort of RTBL. Anyone have any ideas as to how to proceed?

Maybe not. I always look in the header to see whether the email looks to have been sent out via webmail. If so, then it's possible the account has been compromised. This seems to be happening w/great regularity w/Yahoo accounts in particular. The pc need not be & truthfully may very well not be compromised in such cases. The first thing to do is to change credentials on the account, assuming the bad actor, if there is 1, hasn't already done so & locked the victim out. The next thing of course, is to change credentials on all important accounts, as passwords for them may have been contained in that email account. On 11/20/14, Frank Ventura wrote:

I believe it was sent from Mac mail from the IP 1.247.239.156, however the MX lookup tools I tried can find no info on it. If anyone can find info on it I would be much appreciative and would like to know what IP lookup tool/site you used. Thanks Frank

Scott, thanks very much. I think it may be South Korea. I have a cleitn who is having email sent with her name in the display field and her name in the subject field to everyone in her address book and it is coming from that IP. For example if her name was Jane Doe the display field would read "Jane Doe" and the subject line would be something like "From Jane Doe". The reply to email field is aseemingly legit email address that is not familiar to her. The spam was sent to every address in her contacts. She uses Yahoo and access her email from a variety of locations (I know, I have lectured her about that), and it doesn't look like her account is being used for this, but the contact addresses came from it. I am pretty concerned about this because I am worried that since her name appears in the subject line of this spam automatic spam traps will associate the string of characters in her name and get her real email on some sort of RTBL. Anyone have any ideas as to how to proceed?

Scott, thanks I suspected Pacific rim with the lengthy roundtrip time. How did you determine it was registered through APNIC? I couldn't find that. Thanks a million Frank

Looks to be originating from Asia probably China.

Space is registered through APNIC and pings at about 256 MS from the east coast so that's somewhere in Asia.

Hi all, can anyone find out where 1.247.239.156 is located? I am trying to track the source of a message from the headers (complete headers below my signature). I believe it was sent from Mac mail from the IP 1.247.239.156, however the MX lookup tools I tried can find no info on it. If anyone can find info on it I would be much appreciative and would like to know what IP lookup tool/site you used. Thanks Frank
