anonymous email

Sender identity hidden

Anonymous email is electronic mail sent without revealing the sender's true identity.

The sender may use a fake name, a disposable email address, or routing services that strip identifying information.

Anonymous emails serve legitimate purposes like whistleblowing or protecting privacy, but also enable harassment, threats, and scams: She received an anonymous email warning her about the merger.
