Not sure exactly... maybe I'll think of something else

Open Mail.app from the menu bar select Mail>Settings>Privacy and disable:

Protect Mail Activity

Hide IP address

Block all remote content

quit mail and relaunch it holding the Shift key down and compare your results

>System Settings> wifi > network settings> Limit IP address tracking ...disable

if no resolve see:

—if you are using Hide My email—try disabling this feature and compare your results...

Set up and use Hide My Email in iCloud+ on all your devices - Apple Support

—if you are using iCloud Private Relay on Mac - Apple Support try disabling this feature and compare your results...

Use iCloud Private Relay on Mac - Apple Support

if you are using a VPN disable it

apple kb "Mail wants to sign using key "privatekey" in your keychain"
