Gathering IP addresses - Different options

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Currently working on an application in which we are trying to gather IP address from people spying on other people's inboxes. The way we have it at the moment we create a ''honeypot'' email which contains a unique link and soon as the snooper clicks on it we get their IP address. This works fine.

 

But just looking for different methods as in maybe so that the snooper doesnt have to click on link but we directly gather their IP as soon as he opens the email, or also ive heard something about having pictures in emails to gather IP addresses ? Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

only idea i could think of, on login, have it add a row to a table with id, email, ip, timestamp... if its a different ip address(so you only get 1 for each ip&email)... that way theres no mistakes, and it doesnt require anybody to click on anything...
