Thank you for taking the time to post this information, Elfrick.

To add, the source IP address can change and will not always originate from 222.69.166.171. Other players should definitely keep that in mind when reviewing the email headers.

If players wish to know how to check their email headers, even on emails coming from Blizzard Entertainment, they can visit the following Knowledge Base article:
