In order to for ISS to track the origin of your email, you will need to provide the message header. Headers contain tracking information for an individual email, detailing the path a message took as it crossed mail servers, which will help us identify phishing scams or other unsolicited email. Be sure to mark spam if you suspect a phishing attempt. For more information read: Report Spam. How to manage your spam filter in Gmail.
