RE: Hiding IP in E-Mail..

[Gedi <gediintheuk () yahoo co uk>]

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.

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.

Subject: RE: Hiding IP in E-Mail..

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.
