"Evil" technical question. Untraceable emails?
Is it possible to send someone untraceable e-mails? Or can they always find out who sent them?
Is there a site that can divert or relay them so they seem to come from another addy?
(Not that I am thinking of doing such a thing.... just curious!)

:dilemma:

1. I've read about sites that divert them.



I also read awhile back about emails that "disappear without a trace" a certain pre-set amount of time after they're opened. Also emails that the sender can "recall" at will. Sorry though, I don't have any links for you.

2. It depends, but the short answer to your question is, yes it can be done..

...quite easily in fact. The only thing you need, to do it easily, is an e-mail server that allows relaying.
