Understanding of email address location
Email infrastructure can be built in different ways:
- 1) Same server with same IP sending emails, receiving emails, and hosts site(s). (about 83% of cases).
- 2) A separate server with separate IP for send and receive emails, it can be located anywhere and often belongs to different organization. (about 15% of cases)
- 3) One server (or group of servers) that receiving emails and one server (or groups of servers) that sending emails. (about 2% of cases).
It is important to understand, that email address is not always related with physical location of customer (owner of email).
For example, customer can be located in Paris, but create email on gmail.com that is located in USA.
But there are cases when email location will provide us information about customer's language and country.
