Hi All, no, I'm not training to be a spammer. I just wish to hide my IP address from people I mail to. I don't have access to my ISP's mail server. I don't care about the person I'm mailing to knowing who I am, just don't want my IP showing, that's all. When my OE connects to a lists server, I don't want then knowing who I am. I'm just extra paranoid, I guess. I've just re-installed my OS after a lot of weird goings on, and am lookin' to tie down the hatch a little more. Am already using proxies for browsing and a good soft firewall. Am studying up on TCP/IP and am now looking at packet filtering apps and network traffic monitors etc..guess I'm also starting to enjoy the security side of it, as I had almost 10yrs in the security business, non PC. Anyway, thanx to all for your suggestions etc. Cheers. Mark Sargent.
If your IP doesn't show, then SMTP is broken in my opinion. If you want to get around having your IP show, use a web mail service and a proxy to send through it, or just use a remailer. IPs (should) are shown in the header for good reason, you shouldn't try and get around this. -- Tim Greer <chatmaster () charter net> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attend Black Hat Briefings & Training Federal, September 29-30 (Training), October 1-2 (Briefings) in Tysons Corner, VA; the world's premier technical IT security event.
