One of my clients runs a blog network for peace activists in the Middle East, where they discuss important news events and hold forth on issues such as Religious Faith, Tolerance and Cultural Identity. Their main blog is blocked by Iran, which they consider a badge of honor, and is routinely monitored by government officials to try to sniff out dissenters. To better protect the privacy of those who read and comment on their blogs, we have created this plugin: Private Email Notifications.

Private Email Notifications removes any Email and IP address information from all email notifications that WordPress sends. This is accomplished by overriding three pluggable functions and removing all email and IP address information from being sent out.

The following functions are overriden by this plugin:

• wp_notify_postauthor
• wp_notify_moderator
• wp_new_user_notification

Due to the way pluggable functions works, you can NOT have any other plugins trying to override these functions or they will clash. Some of these functions have actions/filters that you can use to further modify how they operate.

In time I plan to add more of these hooks to my versions of these functions. If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
