Does email campaign show referrer?

I am wondering if there is a blank referrer or if the email host is the referrer when somebody clicks on a link from within an email. I did a test and I couldn't find any referrer in my cookies but I just want to be sure on this.

So here's what I'm trying to do. I want to blank out the referrer when somebody clicks on a link from a myspace message and make it look like I'm running an email campaign with a certain cpa offer. Is this doable?

Use a double meta refresh for all email campaigns you send out. This ensures only the blank referers get passed on to the CPA network.

But if it is usually inconsistent, wouldn't it be a red flag to the AM if all of your referrers were blank?

No. Because it is common for e-mail marketers to use a redirect. As a matter of fact, a lot of networks will REQUIRE you to use a redirect.

I'm looking at my filinet screen right now and in big bold red text it says:

"Emailers must host all images on their own server and mask the Filinet redirect with their own redirect."

Therefore, if anyone asks you about it you can just tell them that you use a redirect and it blanks the referrer.
