VPN question when sending email - which IP address shows up in the email headers?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33146points) January 21st, 2018

I live in the USA. Let’s say that I am using my VPN and am logged into Italy as my endpoint so I can get access to Italian TV.

While I am logged in and have my Italy IP address, I send an email to someone.

Email headers will show the transmitting IP address and all the jumps between the local machine and the recipient.

My question is this: Is the first (source) address on the email my local IP address here in the US? Or is it the VPN based IP address with an Italian IP?
