Proxy servers and other anonymizing tools are useful for web surfing, but what if you want to send anonymous email—for example, if you’re a “whistle blower” and don’t want your identity known? Use an anonymous remailer such as the webbased Anonymouse’s AnonEmail, Send Anonymous Email, or the downloadable QuickSilver.
Anonymouse’s AnonEmail
With AnonEmail it is possible to send e-mails without revealing your e-mail address or any information about your identity. Therefore you can communicate more freely and you do not have to worry that it might cause consequences for you. This service allows you to send e-mails without revealing any personal information.
Send Anonymous Email
Send Anonymous Email is a service that allows you to send anonymous emails by resending your email several time through random nodes, thus making it impossible to trace back.
In Send Anonymous Email, you can fill in your recipient, the subject, and a short plain-text message. Contrary to many other services Send Anonymous Email does not (seem to) log your IP. However, we do urge you not to use it for anything illegal.
QuickSilver
QuickSilver is PRIVACY software. It can give you complete privacy in your email and newsgroup postings. Why would this be of interest to you?
Do you have fears that taking part in newsgroup discussions could lead to your harassment or stalking by some internet kook? We’ve all seen stories about this on CNN. Using QuickSilver you can post articles with absolutely no traces of their true origin. A QuickSilver message cannot be traced to you.
In another scenario, you are 1 of several individuals under surveillance. Your government believes you are involved in subversive activities. Using QuickSilver all individuals can communicate freely. Observers will find they can neither read this mail nor trace it to its destination—even after tracing dozens of messages. Surveillance of the message recipient’s connections will reveal only the receipt of a message. Its origin cannot be determined nor its content.
Suppose you work for an organization that is involved in criminal activity. You believe you must inform the proper authorities regarding the activities. To ‘go public’ with this information would not only affect your employment adversely, it could indeed be life threatening. With QuickSilver, your privacy is effectively bullet-proof.
Note: By sending a fake email or prank email you may be committing the offence of fraud even you did not intend to. You are not allowed to use these services for any illegal activities at any time.
