What is the significance of a private computer in the in-depth analysis of the HTML report ?

0

Emails composed on an individual’s private computer (as opposed to a company computer) often ‘leak’ the computer name which can provide clues to the sender’s identity. As an individual normally selects the name for their own computer, it is often owner/user’s real name or alias name as ‘johny456’. During the email trace analysis, eMailTrackerPro performs a lookup of the computer name in public name servers. If no match is found, it indicates that either a public name has changed since you received the email (which is not likely unless the email is very old), or most probably it is the actual private name given to the computer by the owner/user that composed the email. In these cases the computer name may be a clue to the sender’s identity.
