Hi, Bit late with the answer, but you can hide your IP when sending emails by using anonymous remailers. These work in a similar way to anon proxies in that the proxy IP will be displayed instead of yours. Simple server side scripts strip all headers and replace them. You can also chain the remailers for further anominity by giving instructions at the start of the mail. Here is a quick link I found related to the mastermix remailers. http://www.obscura.com/~loki/remailer/remailer-essay.html Be careful, although this will make you anonymous to the general public, the authorities can still trace you by tracing your tracks via logs. I do have better links at work as I did some research on these. If I remember I'll forward them tomorrow.

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. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
