[Counterstrike]

wondering if using this encry. emails if they really hide your private info or is it better to use regular email addy using anony. to hide the ip addy etc...?

Yes, Hushmail dont include your IP addy with email like Ziplip started to do.

All credible email services will hide your ip from the other users you send it to, now if you are talking about hiding it from cops then that's another story.

There is no such thing as a secure email, i've said that a billion times ... they are just slower working email programs.

The interesting thing with cryptographically signed email, nonrepudiation. In other words, if your pgp ckey an be linked to you, it's mathematically proven you typed the email.

Um, I don't think so. Most "credible" MTA's will relay the source IP of the original sender and all the relays in between.

Prove it. I can send you an email and you tell me my ip, bet you can't.

Where are you going to send it from? Hushmail, or some other anon web based mail service? Or will it be from your school's Exchange/Sendmail/Qmail environment. If the latter, then I will give you the IP of the host you sent the mail from.

I'm not trying to say that it's not very easy to send mail w/o your IP being revealed to the recipient I'm just saying that most enterprise MTA's intentionally provide this information to recipients.

You can give the ip of my isp by just plugging my hostname to a lookup, big deal ... you can't find my individual ip though ... NO WAY, NO HOW.

I can send you that email from any credible site you want me to send it to you from (yahoo, hotmail, etc ... well if you call those credible, lol).

Anyway, point is, they won't disclose someone's ip.

Now, I can hide it from cops too (unless they really go looking for it) but I will have to try, you can't do this via regular email.

Also, not saying it's impossible to find someone's ip that emailed you ... just mean to say no legal way of doing it.
