If I send an e-mail to someone are they able to track my ISP number or any other potentially identifying information.
I have one PC at home which I also use to access my work e-mail. I would like to send e-mails that are anonymous or at least protect my privacy from my home PC (not for any negative or dodgy reasons I can assure you).
But would my IT section at work be able to tell if the e-mails came from me - that is they know I access my work e-mail on this ISP number and therefore if an anonymous e-mail was received by my work they would know it came from my home PC as it would have same number?
This might sound odd but I want to report a serious issue (whistleblowing) without being tracked back to me. Appreciate it is normally better to "own" such a problem and stand uop and say it was me that riased it but I have my reasons for not doing this (at least yet)
Appreciate your advice. I know the answer might be to use someone elses PC and not my own. But would prefer to use onw
Anything you send from one computer to another is traceable if you have the time and the equipment. Emails are particularly easy to back trace. If you want to pass some information anonymously then use good old snail mail.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
All the information about where an email starts from and which servers it passes through appears in the email header, so yes, it's easy.
