nope - leased line from net4india - bsnl adsl router discloses the private ip
Your IP shows BSNL so N4India must be getting it from them. Ya, I remember, BSNL uses the ADSL in bridged mode with external pppoe.
this ip from which i am mailing is on bsnl - but my desktop is on net4india which doesnt get it's IP from bsnl - and no, i dont trust anything as insecure as mail to my desktop.
True. You seem to be using some hops for mail but all your ips are available in your header anyway. So it is not that secure. The only secure emailing available as of today is gmail as it does not reveal the ip of your isp. It only shows the unimportant private ip of the sender and google's own ip. You can never find out the country of origin, let alone city.
