Okay, I just tried Yahoo and one of the headers reads:

Received: from [82.45.207.20] by web30108.mail.mud.yahoo.com via HTTP;

82.45.207.20 is my external IP address.  So I don't know why you're not
seeing your IP address in the emails you send via Yahoo.  This is via a
free Yahoo webmail account http://mail.yahoo.com/.

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,

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.

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

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.
