Default Need tech advice on anonymous emailing


If I send an email through a web-based anonymous remailer, then the
header and the sender data is supposed to be removed---thus granting
anonymity to the sender.

I found an anonymous emailer (not a remailer) that resides on your hard
drive and sends messages from its own text editor in a collection of
tools called NetTools from http://users.pandora.be/ahmadi/nettools.htm.
That anonymous emailer has a list of servers that you can choose from
to send your message through.

Does the anonymous email program strip the user data, or do those
servers strip the sender's data? In other words: Rather than use the
actual anonymous emailing program from NetTools, can I simply create a
bogus account in the email program that I normally use on my hard drive
and send email through one of these servers?

Thanks!

If it sends the e-mail to a third party mail server then it's a REmailer,
NOT an emailer, and yep, you can just use your regular mail client to do
exactly the same thing.
