A related point: for a very long time, Gmail has removed the sender’s IP address from mail headers. If you receive an email in Gmail, you can’t get the sender’s IP address from the headers (or from anywhere in that email).
There are also email providers who, when sending your email out, remove your IP address from the header and substitute it with their own IP address for better privacy.
- fakedang 6y agoThink Gmail does the latter. I've seen all my mail pass through servers in California.
- newscracker 6y agoI haven’t checked the latter with Gmail, but it certainly does the former. You can verify it by sending an email from an address hosted by another provider to Gmail and checking the headers in the received email in Gmail. The headers will not have your (sender) IP address.
