Re: IP Address
If you want to verify, you can use my Delete-emails.r script that let you see
emails awaiting on your POP server, and allow you to see the full header
with all "Received:" field. But I think you will only see the IP of your provider
host, not you computer one.
do http://membres.lycos.fr/didec/rebsite/delete-emails/delete-emails.r
(View/1.2.8+ needed)
Eventually, this script parse the "Received:" fields to pick IP addresses in
order to check for spam in RBL (spamcop...), so if you want to do the same,
you can pick the appropriate code in it.
