Electronic Mail (E-Mail), which is one of the most widely used applications of Internet, has become a global communication infrastructure service. However, security loopholes in it enable cybercriminals to misuse it by forging its headers or by sending it anonymously for illegitimate purposes, leading to e-mail forgeries. E-mail messages include transit handling envelope and trace information in the form of structured fields which are not stripped after messages are delivered, leaving a detailed record of e-mail transactions. A detailed header analysis can be used to map the networks traversed by messages, including information on the messaging software and patching policies of clients and gateways, etc. Cyber forensic e-mail analysis is employed to collect credible evidence to bring criminals to justice. This paper projects the need for e-mail forensic investigation and lists various methods and tools used for its realization. A detailed header analysis of a multiple tactic spoofed e-mail message is carried out in this paper. It also discusses various possibilities for detection of spoofed headers and identification of its originator. Further, difficulties that may be faced by investigators during forensic investigation of an e-mail message have been discussed along with their possible solutions.

Integration of Web based ICT tools in education aiming to bring quality education to everyone and everywhere is a worldwide phenomenon. Teachers and learners are benefited as these tools increase efficiency and effectiveness of learning, teaching, planning and managing by establishing linkages and collaboration, facilitating experimentation and lifelong learning and providing easy to use management and administrative tools. Web has created various opportunities for extending teacher-learner, learner-learner and teacherteacher communications, interactions and collaborations beyond classrooms. However, the use of Web based tools for education face diverse challenges on multiple fronts which may not only lead to digital divide, security and privacy issues but may also make integration ineffective or even injurious. This paper makes an appraisal of opportunities and challenges of the use of Web tools for education. The opportunities created by these tools in various areas of education have been studied and examined. It also identifies current and possible issues associated with the use of Web based ICT tools and proposes solutions to overcome these issues for effective integration of Web based ICT tools in education.
