I never actually said that PGP emails were anonymous. Rather I’m saying that the process I’m describing of sending anonymous emails require PGP. Any headers in the email are stripped out long before it is delivered at the final destination.

Also, with no disrespect intended to your service, I persoally avoid using web based security like that because I would rather have sole control of private keys and such. PGP and GnuPG give me that ability. Not only that, they can be had for free.

Please notice that when sending a PGP email you are not anonymous since your IP address still shows up in the email header!

A better title would be SECURE EMAIL instead of ANONYMOUS EMAIL.

For people who have not installed GnuPG on their PC, an alternative would be http://www.websecureemail.com where you can send PGP secured email via a web interface.

I know what you mean. However I think that in the age where government and business are getting more and more into everyone’s private matters.

Now that I’m older, I wouldn’t go to the trouble of sending an anonymous e-mail. However, this information would have been invaluable to me as a bored high school student.
