Although email is totally stable and safe means of communication, but we can say spoofing is basically a type of bomb that threaten the email system. Email spoofing is to misguide the recipient regarding the true start of the message. The attacker may forged the mail via link, through the attached files and hidden images in the header. Email header plays an important role in spoofing. Basically in the following paper we focused on various mapping tools and visualizing techniques to track the start of the attacker to further cease the birth of spoofed email. We also presented the overview of geolocation, different approaches of geolocation like IP2Geo - GeoPing, GeoCluster, CBG, TBG, Octant, Whois etc. These methods try to come up on the precise and close locality of the host.
