Send Anonymous Email | Stealth Internet

There are instances when you feel that you need to report someone for committing a crime, yet you are afraid to do so. Sending your message anonymously might be the best option available for you. When you send anonymous emails, you will not be putting yourself at risk. Reporting crime is not the only event in which sending anonymous email plays an important role. Sending email anonymously can also aid you in identifying your friends as well as your enemies. Anonymous emails are also great if you want to have fun and send prank email to your peers.

How to send anonymous emails

One of the most popular methods to send an email without giving away your email address is by sending an email through a remailer. A remailer is a machine that forwards your email to your intended recipients, removing first any indication that the message came from you. The remailer uses a special software that would remove your IP or replaces it with a fake one. The remailer that replaces the name of the sender is called a “pseudonymous” remailer. There is also the “cypherpunk” remailer. In this type, the email address is completely removed. This type of remailer is safer because the machine does not keep logs of transactions.

Controversies regarding anonymous email

Some people are against the use of remailers and other tools or methods in anonymously sending messages, because these can actually be exploited by scammers and hackers. This can also be used to spread terrorism online. However, there are still various people who see remailers as useful tools for whistle-blowers and for those who want to expose controversies.

The issue on whether President Obama should keep or give up his mobile email phone addiction is not trivial as some may think. In the past and until today, emails are actually used to commit serious crimes.

Obama to bring the object of his addiction to the White House

Because email is viewed with a skeptical eye in the White House, former presidents gave up using emails during their administrations. Former President Clinton, for instance, sent only two emails during his term and Bush gave up emails as well. Just recently, however, it was announced that Obama would be allowed to bring his addiction to the White House. This announcement made him the first US president to use email regularly. But to ensure the safety of information and of the president himself, a special security software would be installed on his BlackBerry mobile email phone.

Why use plain text

One of the ways to combat unauthorized access of your messages and files is by reading your emails in plain text. Many people are seduced by the HTML-rendered file because of its attractive features; there are colored fonts and images in HTML-rendered emails. However, it is not secure to read emails in HTML format because it can hide images and links that could aid hackers to obtain the information from the emails. This can also help spammers find their new victims. However, if you use plain text, you don’t have to worry about hidden links and images because the plain text format will show everything. The plain text format does not support active content; some types of active content can actually harm your system by allowing harmful files to be downloaded automatically.

Plain text email messages are easy to compose, send, and receive. No plain text email has ever been found to contain viruses or cause any problems when being accessed.

Israeli-Palestinian malware

You should also avoid opening attachment from unknown sources, especially if the attachment has .ink, .exe, and .vbs extensions.
