Hi All,

I'm rather a newbie at all this. How do I hide my IP when sending/getting
e-mail from the server and from the recipient(s) of the e-mails..? Cheers.

You really can't.  The IP is added by your mail server.  The only way
you could change this would be on your e-mail server, but you could only
remove the Received: headers that existed prior to your mail server
sending the message out.  When the next mail server receives the e-mail,
it will add the IP of your mail server to the message and there's zilch
you can do about it.

If internal IPs are super secret I suggest hiding them with a proxy.
