Can my IP addy be traced if I'm using cyber-rights.net?

[kbrkbr]

I just placed an order with a domestic source and when I pressed "send," cyber-rights came back with a message "Cannot find public keys for the following address."

This got me wondering whether the message I sent could be used to track my IP number back to my computer. My understanding is that if the message was sent encrypted, then the message couldn't be tracked back to me. But if cyber-rights DIDN'T encrypt it, then could I be exposed?

Yup, feeling a little paranoid this morning.

Kbrkbr that message just means your message was not encrypted because the person's email address you were sending it to is not a secure one like Cyber-rights, or ZipLip. It would be like me sending an encrypted Cyber-rights email to a Hotmail user. Hotmail has no clue how to handle the encryption. You can uncheck the checkmark that says Encrypt Email before sending and you won't get that message. The person you are sending the email to should really think about getting an encrypted email address. Afterall, they are free.

On a serious note, that's exactly what i was thinking.

Close. They have to be using the SAME encryption system, EF uses hushmail so mail to other systems using hushmail will be encrypted.

Short answer, unless cyber-rights gave out your IP, there would be no way of knowing who sent the message since it's relayed via the Cyber/Hush servers - not fhrough your computer.

Now if you question is if the feds can find all that stuff on your computer later, yeah they can, so wipe your drive clean!

I get the same sometimes with my hushmail. You just don't send the mail if it won't encrypt. I would'nt deal with a guy that didn't have secure mail. That seems way to dangerous to me.
