This is the easy way.
A more effective way is to ask CloudFlare for MX records, or to look at IP address history for the domain name, but it's less easy (especially for nontechnical people).
Signing up for an account and looking at email headers, then typing their IP address into a WHOIS service to get the web hosting company to file abuse reports with? You can do that without ever touching a command line interface.
- robjan 6y agoIf they use a third party mail provider like Gsuite or Fastmail that won't work. If they really want to hide their IP they would do this or entirely avoid MX records.
