Hello, eddie888:
  Do you want a software that gets the domain name from the e-mail
address and get the IP that points to that domain? This is the only
way to get an IP from an e-mail address.

Regards.

Hello, Joseleon-ga,
i got mailing list/s only ! without domain names, as all/most e-mail
addresses are harvested from search engines! I am interested to
convert automatically a
whole batch of e-mail list into IP (numbers) addresses!
regards.

Eddie888-ga,

I think what joseleon is trying to point out is that you may have a
fundamental misunderstanding how email addresses work.  Each
individual email address does not have an IP address associated with
it.  Each email address is part of a domain and hostname which has an
IP address.  There can be hundreds or even thousands of email
addresses which come from the same domain, and therefore have the same
IP address.  To make matters even more complicated, some email
addresses which share a domain name will not originate from the same
IP number.  Yahoo! is an example.  If you do a reverse DNS lookup on
yahoo.com, you'll get a certain IP number.  However, that is not the
IP number from which all yahoo.com email addresses originate.  They
have many different servers which distribute the load, instead of just
one.

Perhaps it would help us help you if you can tell us exactly what you
are wanting this for.

Regards,
Bikerman

Hello, eddie888:
  I highly doubt such listing exists, it's virtually impossible, but
if you have an IP address, you can know the geographic location of
that address, there are many online services out there, but maybe this
software it's interesting to you:

RealWebInfo
http://www.bardsa.com/RealWebInfo/

With that software, you can get a lot of info about an IP address.

Regards.

Hello, eddie888:
  Maybe it's that the problem you have has no solution, but don't
throw the towel yet, maybe you can provide more info so we can come up
with another solution or workaround. Is that possible?

Regards.
