do you know where/when your ip address is showing? thanks...sorry, not too technical here!

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.

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.

No problem. Go to hotmail and send me email at [email protected].
I will give you the IP of your originating PC or, if your college/ISP uses a NAT (ie: if you are in private non-routable space), then I can give you the NAT address that is presented to the Internet. Be fair, don't proxy through an anon service, and dont launch a Web browser from someone else's PC/Server/etc...

Did you email from hotmail... if so... he has got ya.
Sk - email headers have the source IP address of the computer that sent it... this is still the case even with hotmail and most webmail services unless you purposley hide it by going through anonymous proxies - etc.
There are way to remain anonymous... but most people don't take the time.

Counter if you want more security
first use an anonymous service like www.anonymizer.com before opening your "secure email program" this will shield your ip somewhat.
second open notepad (NOT WORD) and type your message
third use PGP to encrypt the message and then place in your email program
E- Mail it to a remailer (maybe two if your really paranoid)
The person on the other end will also need PGP to decrypt the message
close all open programs (browsers, email, notepad)
Use a program like Window Washer to clear all memory and cache areas (it it possible to see whats on your clipboard thru a browser add in). anonymizer.com has a test to show what a good programmer (or snoop) can find out about you
This will not give complete protection. (but unless an agency with three letters wants to find you most people would give up so its pretty good )

Well I guess that'll teach me. Fucking hotmail. Never gonna send emails without proxies again. I was gonna send you (thx9000) an email asking how, but yea the headers ...
Anyway, i'll shoot you an email back.
Fucking years of programming and I didn't think that they were stupid enough to leave the ip, mac, etc in the headers.

BTW, why did Ziplip drastically change their policy regarding IP addresses? I'm just curious as to what compelled them to change their policies?
