You (the person who created this :)) should update the link to the email address to include a target for the mailto: link to a new tab: I use Gmail (for domains) and the mailto link opened in the same window, closing the page (which should stay open, it says).

So I have to click a mailto link rather than letting me copy and paste the email address? I don't have a mail client set up on this machine. Good one....

They heard you. You can now copy-paste the e-mail adress.

what's funny about this is that if you use google mail through the web browser, you can't do email signing or encryption, but your IP address isn't visible to the person you send mail to. but, if you use a 3rd party MUA so that you can use signing and encryption, then your IP address is visible.

You can strip the sender's entire connection from the Headers in the email, and make it look like your SMTP server originated the mail...

With sendmail redefine RECEIVED_HEADER in sendmail.mc: define(`confRECEIVED_HEADER',`by $j ($v/$Z)$?r with $r$. id $i; $b')dnl

I've been using this to get around the spam filters when sending emails to my clients from my residential IP.

Another site to test email IP leaks: http://emailipleak.com/ Aside from basic IP leaks, you can also test for other privacy leaks at: https://emailprivacytester.com/ Featured in: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/05/25/test-email-account-privacy-...

The emailleaktest site linked by OP is a word for word down to the privacy policy blatant copy of http://emailipleak.com which we made. Not sure why this is hacker news front page worthy.

They should have just cloned https://emailprivacytester.com/ instead. The code is available for download on github.

Can't believe all the down votes for this!
