PSMail Quick Tip:  In this always-on age advertised by your cable or DSL provider, you may be tempted to leave your computer on all the time.  With a properly configured firewall, that's okay to do.  But for complete security, turn off your computer, or disconnect the network cable, when your computer is not in use. Talk to your provider of service to be sure you're protected.
 
Email Privacy Print E-mail
Did you know that headers of an email message can contain private information such as your computer's location, computer's name, computer operating system and even the current patch level of your system.  Lear how PSMail can help Here is an example of a Message-ID header of your email message
Message-ID: < This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it >
Received: from JanetsPC (score.mafa.id[162.1.48.170]) by .....

X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0 (xpsp.0809413-2105)

The received header can be used to locate you as being in "Indonesia" in this case.  Message ID shows that you work for "Indo Finance" and you use Microsoft Outlook version 12 with the indicated patch level.  At PSMail, we do our best to protect your identity.  We log all information about your PC only for troubleshooting.  It is not sent as part of our outgoing emails and it is not sold to advertising or marketing partners.

Did you know that you can input email headers to sites such as emailfinder.com or www.ip-address.com and find details of where you were located, when you sent the email and what is your most likely system used.  See enclosed image as a sample of what type of private information about yourself can be seen by an outsider.
