Headers

Email messages have headers that provide metadata about the message itself. Most of this information is hidden from the person reading an email message. You can use some of this information to verify that the snapshot came from a Linden Lab server.

The following headers are available.

Parameter	Data type	Description
X-Originating-IP	string	IP of simulator. [216.82.41.11]
Subject	string	Subject of message
Sender	string	email address of www-data account on simulator. "www-data" <www-data@sim8938.agni.lindenlab.com>
From	string	Combination of address and name. Note: name is not always avatar name.
Date	date	Date of snapshot in Pacific timezone.
