email with Tor
Dear all,
I am using Tor to hide what country I am in when in email contact. Each time
I email - I will be emailing with a different IP (most probably),
originating to a range of countries - so they will not see a single country
- my country of origin. The problem comes if they look at the email headers
of my different emails: below I have cut and paste a part of the email
header:
Received: from hotmail.com ([65.54.229.28]) by mc12-f31.hotmail.com with
Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.211); Mon, 17 Oct 2005 05:48:40 -0700
It has time zone information in it: -0700. From this they can infer what
area of the world I am in. My Ip will change accross the different emails -
my country will seemingly change across the different emails (they will
infer I am using some proxy service - my country couldn't possible change
that often). But the time zone reveals my actual area of the world. I think
the time zone info will be constant accross the different emails (the IP
will change tho). Is there any way around this? Am I interpreting things
right? I hope that someone can understand what I am on about. Kind regards,
rhodo
