Does anyone know how I can hide my IP when sending an email?

I assume most if not all of you have sent emails asking for a domain price from an end user.
In my case, there are a few domains that are geo strategic (i.e. they relate to Greece) that I want to purchase.
I believe If the potential seller doesnt know I am from Greece, I may be able to negotiate a better price :bandit:

No matter what I try (gmail...etc...) my IP always shos up and they can easily tell were I am located.

Thanks.
 
hve you tried using a proxy?
 
hi stevey. I've tryed using one to cover my web access track when submitting an online offer. Not sure wether it worked.
But, how would that work on email from an email client?
 
not sure how to do it with an email client, but if you used webmail it should show the proxy ip, i think, havent tried it so not 100% sure
 
tried another one know through a proxy using gmail.
I can still see my IP :-(
 
thanks for the link freestyler.
but this seems to be just a proxy service?
also, it seems to only work with IE :-(

Hey seeker, yup its a proxy service, I use it with I.E and it works fine.
 
I use firefox...
there must be a way...

P.S.

I sent a rewuest for a domain that is geo centric to me.

I got a reply of $30,000

I had someone from the US send an offer at 6 hours aprt.
They got a $15,000 offer!!!

I am SURE, my IP had a lot to do with this...
:mad:
 
hushmail would be like me sending a 'hello, I am some big shot hidding, please over charge me' email :-)
 
Anyone look at Anonymizer lately? I'm not going to bother checking right now, but if anyone does it would be interesting to hear if it has anything that meets the need...
 
How about mysticproxy.com? It's free...for now. :-D

I haven't tried using that when sending emails. I'll give it a shot and let you
know how it goes.

Other than that, I don't see a way to prevent the email's headers and footers
from being detected...
 
Well, if you are truely that concerned you can always just have someone broker it for you (that is from the states or UK, or somewhere else). I will be more than glad to help if you need some assistance.
