gmail and ipaddress

[AffiliateDreamer]

Hi,

Can I figure out what the originating IP address is from someone who sends me an email from gmail or is that hidden somehow?

You want the Gmail account holder's IP address? I'm afraid that information isn't passed in e-mail headers. All you'll see are the Gmail server's IPs.

Yes that is what i'm looking for.

I know with hotmail you can get the senders IP, along with 99% of other emails I seem to recieve.

Since google is behind what information you see and don't see I can see how they do it technically, is it possible to do that with my own email server? If so, what is that privacy type feature called?

I forgot about that feature in Hotmail. I don't see that in Gmail headers. I can understand why they'd add something like that, but it takes a bit of anonymity out of the service.
