Subject: hushmail.com, is this true?

I think he's more concerned about whether or not Hush logs information 
that would allow an IP address to be directly tied to an email 
account/address.

As a former Hush developer I'll say that unless things have changed, 
the answer is 'no'. The only way I can think of that would have allowed 
any sort of match is to compare the last access times on the mailbox 
folders with the Apache logs.  Hardly admissible in court.
