Email headers contain my real email address

[John Gray]

I may well not understand how E4ward operates, so please bear with me.

I set up an E4ward account, and a Forwarding alias email address, say
m...@myname.e4ward.com.

I sent an email from a work email address to this address,
m...@myname.e4ward.com, and it was forwarded to my Real Email Address,
as expected.

I then replied to this message, and it was received back at my work
email address, but the email headers contain my real email address in
both the
Return-Receipt-To
and the
Disposition-Notification-To
lines. This is obviously not a good move.

Should I have done something different to avoid revealing my real
email address?

Thanks!

To your question, no. As of now, the Disposition-Notification-To and
Return-Receipt-To headers will be rewritten with the alias address.

Thanks for looking at this.

I've just tried it again, and the Disposition-Notification-To line now
shows the e4ward.com address
but the Return-Receipt-To line still carries my Real Email Address!

This is when I reply via Outlook 2003 on my home PC, but many of the
email headers (including the offending ones) are not present when I
reply via webmail.

If it helps any, my REA is a email address on a domain belonging to
the UK Virgin Media ISP, but whose emails are 'handled' for them by
Google's Gmail servers. Just to make things more difficult...

Thanks again

Fixed.

I agree! Thanks very much!

By the way, I notice an asymmetry in the amount of time taken to send
*to* an e4ward.com email address (say 2 mins) and to reply *from* my
real address (say 50 mins). Admittedly we are talking somewhat
different paths, but is there an obvious reason for the significant
difference in transit times?

Thanks again for fixing the main problem.

Perhaps a new topic is needed, but for what it's worth, e-mails take
just a few seconds in either direction for me, not minutes.

[John Gray]

OK; if transit time gets to be a problem, I'll start a new topic.

Thanks again for the rapid fixes!
