Finding & blocking IP address to stop spam

[VX L67 Getrag]

Hey All,

As there is so many IT specialist's on here I was wondering if there is an easy way to find IP address of email you get supposedly from your own email account & then block it.

It's in Hotmail account & can block senders & the likes normally but because it's from my own address I can't & have googled it & says to change your password or check if you have malware on your PC which I've done both & hasn't helped.

No, you need your own server then you can use dnsrbl lists, dkim, spf etc. But as your provider all of that is hotmails responsibiliy (and they probably do do it). Email wasnt dedigned for a hostile internet. It unfortunately is really hard for everyone. Its a struggle keeping this sites activation emails getting through to gmail, hotmail, outlook etc! Have had to implement all of the following as a sender.
