Your IP is leaked to everyone you email (and if you receive mail, to everyone who emails you), which is a privacy hole since it ties your IP directly to your identity. I assume you don't mind, or did you not realize this?
- Clubber 9y agoThe whois shows my company name. I mean since I run a company, I don't really want that private. Also, those IPs are accessible through a simple DNS lookup of the sender domain, so I'm not really losing any security.
- throwaway613834 9y agoOh, I thought you were recommending this for consumer usage. Yeah, if you have a company then there's probably nothing to keep private.
- Clubber 9y agoThe hosting provider will probably put whatever you want in the whois.
- throwaway613834 9y agoThe whois wasn't my concern though (since I already knew it was solvable); my concern was the IP address leakage, which gives away your location among other things...
