Searching headers

W

Wowbagger

In Outlook 2003 is there a way to search headers for a specific string?
Somebody is wormblasting our office - it is most probable that this
individual has sent legitimate email to us in the past so if I can match the
originating IP address of the wormblasting with a real message I'll know who
has the infected machine.

Somewhere within this 1.5Gb collection of email is the answer: any
suggestions how I can locate it?

You can try creating a rule with the condition "with <specific words> in the
message header" and put the search string in the specific words area...then
run the rule manually over your existing messages and see if it comes up with
anything (have the rule send copies of the messages to another folder).
