We are pleased to announce that we no longer include customer IP (Internet Protocol) addresses in outgoing mail headers when you are using our SMTP service. The SMTP service is what you use if you are using an email program like Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or other similar programs on a laptop, desktop or mobile device.
This brings our SMTP service in line with our webmail service where we haven’t included the customer IP address for a few years now.
Removing the IP address of your Internet connection can help improve your privacy as IP addresses can sometimes be used to identify your geographical location, and might be accurate to a particular town or city (though often they are much less accurate that this).
If you have any further questions about this please contact Runbox Support.
That’s a good privacy improvement. Many thanks.
