My private network IP (NAT) is showing up in Thunderbird's email header

Asked by impire in Thunderbird Email Client

Tags: ip, thunderbird, email, header, private

I am using Thunderbirb Email by Mozzilla.

I've just now realized that all my emails sent out contain the private (NAT) IP address of my workstation.  I have no problem it's showing my public IP of the mail server, which is required to send and receive mail.  I am however, very uncomfortble when seeing the private IP of my internal workstation's IP on the email header.

Anybody have a suggestion for this problem?  This is obviously a security risk.Start Free Trial
