IP address......

[haraam77]

How could someone get my IP address from an email they get from me? I mean....I do not remember seeing an IP address when I send email. How would they retrieve it from such?

Well, It depends.. If you use webmail (Hotmail, MSN) it can be very hard for a person to get your IP. But a person could look at the EMail headers and find your IP, just do a search on AO for Email Headers and youll get a few interesting posts

Hey dude
One can get your ip address if you send them a mail in the following ways
!.If you send the mail throught web services like "humanclick" etc
2.If you replied to a mail that a gif bug in it which is very command these days
3.If you send the mail by a client that also sends your ip address
4.If you use smtp directly to send a mail to his system that can also tell your ip address
Hope i am clear

bye

I was reading up on this when i came across your post so here is a few places to look to start with.

http://www.antionline.com/showthread...=email+headersis a overview on email headers by Rajat
http://www.antionline.com/showthread...ail+AND+header check out part five it has about email headers and how to make them anonymous, from a tutorial that ac1dsp3ctrum it is not his work he states this but is a good read even not just for the email headers bit.
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers/headers.html this is a site about reading email headers, had it in my favs so not sure if i got it from google or in a post i read, if i did got it from a post I read thanks to whom ever posted it first, sorry for not acknowledging you.
