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.
