Trying to find the company name behind the I.P. 12.145.175.2?

Question

The I.P. is from an e-mail I received.

Answer 1

Name: orsc-email.orsurety.com
Address: 12.145.175.2
Aliases: 2.175.145.12.in-addr.arpa

Answer 2

Go to SamSpade.ORG input the ID address into the "Do Stuff" box. It appears to be an organization called "Old Republic Surety."

BUT it's very easy to disguise the actual source of the email. If you decide to contact AT&T (the hosting ISP) be sure that you send them the FULL headers of the email you received in order to assist them in identifying the source.

Below is the full output from SamSpade.ORG:
