How much info can email tracing software/sites find out?



I sent some spam emails to someone (a small business actually) as a prank (nothing harmful) - they prolly will just think they’re spam and ignore them, but would it be possible for them to find out the name and address of the sender? Don’t they need to get permission from Google to do that? How easy is it for them to find the origin of the emails, basically, and is it easy to tell that they’re all from 1 location? Just curious about how it works - I doubt they’ll do anything.

    Yeah they would just have to look at the headers to see that they are all from you.

    They’ll probably just delete them though.
