Sending by the way of a "non-traceable IP" is prone to blocked mail. Most ISPs would probably think twice before accepting you to open and complete a session with their mail servers if they can't see from where your mail is really coming. Be aware of a number of "553 We do not relay" errors (Returned Mail) from the mail server you will have to use. > Note that is is not for sending massive spam mails... If you are sending by the way of some "similar environment", I would think about it to be a service that is often abused to send "massive spam mails" that have "non- traceable" and their IP-range might be listed as a spammer's haven...

There are _always_ traces. Question is: Who is looking for you? If you need an hidden IP because of fun or some personal privacy, then no-one will propably bother (although you would likely get problems with mail servers here and there, as I said). If you need a hidden IP to get rid of people because of possible controversy connected to what you use the IP for, then either a Legal Department of other means of services/persons will eventually be able to trace you. Gotta ask why someone seeing your IP is something to fear? -- St ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
