Right so it is Yahoo then that don't. It is not that Gandi are doing
anything unusual, it is that Gandi should be providing for those who
have a registered domain name and being hosted and/or DNS services, an
IP traced back to Gandi (as per Yahoo - I mean look: Yahoo anyone can
sign up to for FREE and without any real authentication/verification
compared to that required when registering domains with Gandi: a credit
card is used, a correct address and contact details need to be given, or
you lose your domain. So if my domain is @xyz.com and it is by Gandi, my
IP address should start at Gandi (and the original be suppressed). This
is an acceptable privacy issue, if Yahoo (and must be others) do it, why
not Gandi. If I am logged in on SSL to my Gandi registered domain Email,
why would gandi need to show the general public the terminal i am using
- that is on Gandi's record if need be. CryptoHeaven too, if I use their
system, you will only see the Cryptoheaven IP, no matter where I am. CH
know the IP and if I abuse, I will lose my account. Why should we be
forced to set up our own mail servers at Gandi and/or go via a VPN, when
Gandi can already do that. Yes, yes, protocols, but they are not cast in
stone. Otherwise Yahoo wouldn't do it. And for Gmail yes maybe the WEB
version also does not give the IP. Same imho should be at Gandi at least
on web version and SSL accessed/authenticated version.

Gmail does include your IP address, at least if mail is sent via smtp.
A test mail I just sent included the header:
Received: from ?192.168.2.4? ( [82.45.207.20])
by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id
y34sm17595312iky.6.2008.03.17.16.20.54
(version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=OTHER);

82.45.207.20 is my public IP, and 192.168.2.4 is my internal IP. So I
don't think gandi are doing anything unusual here.

Thank you Teemu. This is not about forging Email headers - otherwise
you're accusing other reputable email services about doing that! It's
a
privacy issue. The point is that the IP number of our DOMAIN at Gandi
should be showing there - this very clearly identifies us - but NOT
the
IP address of the computer one is logging in from outside. Have a look
at any Yahoo or is it Gmail headers and you will see they do not do
it.

You'll probably be more likely to get some kind of answer if you ask
that question in the right category and that would be Gandi Mail (

doubt
that Gandi would be willing to provide a way to forge mail headers
like
you are suggesting.
