IP Tracking is notoriously unreliable.

E.G. I live in the MidWest but my IP address places me on the West Coast.

You probably did get a spam trap as they ae not uncommon. Also, neither one of those are on a secured (SSL) page which renders them useless and not private. Ultimate Anonymity provides a sample of their secured web based remailer at https://ultimate-anonymity.com/web-based-remailer.htm

It being just a sample will allow you to send yourself a message so you can view the headers to see it is really anonymous however, your message will be replaced with a plug (it is a sample). the subscribers interface has no plugs or advertisements in the header OR the message. I also like the fact that you can manipulate the "from" Line to appear as anything you desire.

Thanks for the heads up on Ultimate Anonymity. Seems they deliver exactly what they promise. Very good service and the Anonymous Remailer appears to be VERY reliable.

I just signed up for Ultimate Anonymity. Very cool site. Its service strips the headers and allows you to send an anonymous email and make the 'from' line anything you want. You can do this from their secured web form or download software and send anonymous messages right from your desktop. There are some really cool tools there.

Ultimate Anonymity has been around for 10 years or more. I think I signed up with them in 98 or 99 and I still use them on a regular basis. Very good outfit in my opinion with some really cool software and services.

Right, Did you know that within the header of messages sent via Hotmail, Yahoo and others reveals your REAl IP address? That is a trail right back to you. If you want to send real anonymous email messages use a service like Ultimate-Anonymity http://www.ultimate-anonymity.com as messages sent through them are truly anonymous and not traceable back to you. They also provide "disposable email addresses" which means you can setup addresses as will, use them ,then delete them when done.

Hey I stumbled on this website:
http://www.email-sent.com/
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:
http://www.1netcentral.com/anonymous-email.html

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.

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

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. :-)

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

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.

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 would take it to mean that Yahoo doesn't want you telneting in to send email. You'll need to use an email client that supports sender authentication, and use yoru Yahoo account.

No. Most servers disallow random connections to prevent spam.

For mail sent using Hotmail, the instructions you point to will only find the IP address of a HotMail server, and NOT the IP address of the computer that was used to compose and send the original email. I stand by my article.

Well, I would like to believe that sending and email from Hotmail means that you are anonymous but that is not what I have heard. This site http://www.johnru.com/active-whois/trace-email.html for one, informs users how to locate the IP address of the original sender, so I would have to say that your information here, that your IP cannot be traced without Microsoft's help is not correct.

I never would send my anonymous "hate" mails via yahoo. American companies are forced by law to keep records. If a judge order yahoo to disclose information about your email....then good night.

You better use a free email service somewhere located in the Bahamas ;)

You can trace it back to hotmail, and that's as far as you can get, so in short ... no.

What about tracing it back to the internet service through which it was set up? Can the public do that without a court order?

Not without Microsoft's help. In otherwords, for the public: no.

So, can an email account from an anonymous hotmail account be traced back from the computer at which the account was set up?

If I set uup an email on yahoo (like the above one I have) no one can tell it came from my home computer. I was interested because if you chat with people and then decide to start emailing I wouldn't want them to trace where I was.

Your site came highly recommended. Thanks for your time.
My question is, I have created an anonymous yahoo email account with anonymous profile information etc.
I now hear that the company who has received the one and only email I have sent from that account (which has now been deleted) has contracted someone to 'trace' the origins of my email.
Am I safe or should I be worried? Are there any further precautions that I should take?
Thanks again!

As the article states, the easiest way to send anonymous email is to set up a free email account with hotmail or other free email provider, using made-up information. Most techniques for using an arbitrary domain (as in @whateveriwant.wateveriwant) can be complicated, and could still be traced to the email account you used. Just create and use a free acount.

In the general sense - it would be extremely difficult. Nearly impossible for most. It normally takes some kind of "extra" knowledge --- like access to the computer used when using the account, or assistance from the anonymous email provider (which typically happens only as the result of a court order).

If it's easy to set up an anonymous email account, does that mean it is nearly impossible to find someone's real name by an email address. Question is...if my husband has set up an anonymous email for himself & he wants to keep private can I find the email address or not?
