There is a way that one can also use to track an email - when was it
read, who read it, from what IP was it read.
As an application simply append confirm.to to any email address, e.g
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This will track the email,
assuming the reader uses an HTML client that downloads the images from
internet.
The mechanism by which the tracking is accomplished is
quite simple. When you send the email with "confirm.to" appended to
the email address the message actually gets routed thru the domain
"confirm.to" where a .gif image is inserted into the email. The image
is actually a reference to an URL that tracks the message. So if the
intended recipient forwards it to someone else and this someone else
reads it with an HTML client, then you will know about it - when it
was read, by whom, and from what IP.
The obvious counter to this is to not use an HTML mail reader that
pulls from the internet at real time.
I hope this makes sense. If not, just try it and see what happens.
