What do you think of sites like: www.mailedto.com?
Do you think that 'does the trick'in terms of staying anonymous?
Obviously this is for people that don't need or
want a response back.

I don't know the service specifically. I'd set up an account, send an email to my regular account, and examine the resulting headers to see how truly anonymous it is.

Have you checked out http://www.willselfdestruct.com - they let you send anonymously and the message can self-destruct.

To test this out, I just set up a Hotmail account and sent myself an email. There, in the headers, was my IP address clear as day.

Perhaps this wasn't true when the original article was written, but it's certainly there now. :-)

And apparently not always there. But you are correct, I would now avoid Hotmail for this purpose.

THANKS FOR ALL HERE.
YOUR INFORM ARE VERY GOOD!!

I can't believe what I've been reading about not being able to trace an e-mail distributed from Yahoo or Hotmail back to a PC. Of course you can. The source IP (as well as the IP for Yahoo and Hotmail) is in the full headers.

And once that IP address is available, what can happen to you is limited only to the skills and desires of the person who know it. I use free web-based geolocator services, coupled with post office carrier routes, to ascertain the physical residence for the IP and the street address associated with that residence. There's supposed to be a 155 meter margin of error for geolocating, but after typing that address into a personal information search engine with reverse address lookup (e.g. Intelius.com / Infobel.com), I got some names and Google search on these names helped turn up evidence that helped me establish with 90% plus probability that person as the source of the e-mail.

Hey I stumbled on this website:

Apparently you can send anonymous emails with it, but I tried sending them to my address and nothing happened. I'm worried I'm going to be sent junk mail...
The strange thing is it was recommended on this site:
