noun. E-mail header information refers to the metadata or informational details about an e-mail message. It is typically not visible to the recipient, as it resides in the background of the e-mail client or service.
The header includes various specifics about the e-mail, such as the sender's and recipient's e-mail addresses, the date and time the e-mail was sent, the subject line, and the unique message identifier. It also includes information about the mail servers involved in transmitting the e-mail, such as the IP addresses and domains of the sending and receiving servers.
E-mail headers are important for tracking and troubleshooting purposes, as they can reveal the path that the e-mail took from sender to recipient. They can also help identify potential delivery issues, verify the authenticity of the sender, and provide additional technical information useful for diagnosing any problems that may arise during the delivery process.
