Default EMAIL QUESTION

If i send an email to somone, ie by using an alias name, and false registered real name could it be traced back to me by a corperate company?

Thing is, i really have some issues to get off my chest to my area manager. I know major stuff about him and i am afraid if i whistleblow him i will get sacked.

So i was thinking if i set up a different name, different email address, couldthe company trace it back to me at all? ie my real name, real net provider etc.

i cant continue knowing what i know.

help, please

Go to an internet cafe, sign up an "anonymuos" web-mail (like Hotmail or Gmail etc) and do it from there?

i used to use remailers , there was one over in finland that was quite handy, or do as one of the lads above says, set up one on gmail or hotmail or summat and do it from a different source, that way you can always check to see if he replys, remember dont sign in at home though or your busted..........

To be fair though!

Would hotmail give out the IP to a company? I thought they only would in the case of criminal activity?
