Anonymous Email Account?

[Contrary1]

Is there really such a thing? If so, can anyone recommend a good one? I will not be breaking any laws.

I would like to contact a reporter anonymously. I am hoping that this reporter will act as a go between. I am involved with a group that attempts to match missing persons with unidentified bodies. Doing so directly is strictly against their rules, and grounds for expulsion. But doing it the "right" way can take many months, if not years.

I can't go into a lot of details, but it is regarding a man who has been missing for over 30 years. The unidentified male died in an automobile accident a few weeks after the missing person report was filed. No foul play. If possible, I would like to give this family closure as soon as possible.

Weird question, I know.

Thanks for any advice!

1. You could always use the postal service. It is slow but it works.

Really, getting a truly anonymous email account will be much more difficult than putting on a pair of gloves and dropping your mail in the box.

If you really want to try hiding email Google "proxy email". Or use a pay phone..

2. No such thing. Omphaloskepsis has it right- use snailmail. nm

4. Would a free account (i.e. Hotmail or Yahoo) + a proxy server or anonymizer work? {nt}
