Mail headers are like tracking information. Each piece of mail contains "headers" which mail servers use to track, stamp and deliver mail from a source to a destination. All E-Mails contain these headers which contain important information that can assist in the fight against Spam and troubleshoot mail delivery issues.
Spam headers look like the following :
