User IP addresses

Print

Protecting our users' privacy is something we take very seriously. IP addresses can be considered sensitive information. As such, sender IP address information is not displayed in Gmail outgoing mail headers.

Don't worry -- we aren't enabling spammers to abuse the system by not revealing IP addresses. Gmail uses many innovative spam filtering mechanisms to ensure that spammers have a difficult time sending bulk emails that arrive in users inboxes.
