I don't know what you mean by 'reveal IP addresses', but I can assure you that your latter statement is very much not the case.
- cynwoody 14y agoSome mailers include an X-Originating-IP header, allowing a recipient to see the sender's IP address trivially. Gmail does not include that particular header. The headers it does include will simply lead back into the Google network. More on the X-Originating-IP header, from 2001: http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2001/06/44567 http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2001/06/44567 As for whether or not Gmail reveals your IP address, it depends on who's asking. E.g., we have the recent example of LTC Paula Broadwell.
- darkhorn 14y agoNo, I've not send any emails. Court asked to give the email account's details (IP) and microsoft was happy to give.
- chimeracoder 14y ago> Court asked to give the email account's details (IP) and microsoft was happy to give. Yeah, so Google is more than willing to do this too (and has, in the past).
- darkhorn 14y agoIt does not do it in Turkey.
- illuminate 14y agoPerhaps they are talking about the X-Originating-IP header? "Revealed" is a pretty loaded term, either way.
- darkhorn 14y agoNo, not X-Originating. Prosecutor asks to Microsoft to give all the details of xxx@hotmail.com. Microsoft sends all the informations of xxx@hotmail.com to the prosecutor. Google does not reply even.
