Do checks sent via electronic bill pay include my account and routing number?

Question

In the past, I have had checks stolen from a mailbox. The thief drew up new counterfeit checks using my account and routing number from the checks. I would like to avoid sharing my banking details every time I drop a check in the mailbox. But I'm unclear if the checks mailed from electronic bill pay (not the ACH payments- the actual hard checks) will still share my banking information, or if they will be more like money orders. I will have to upgrade to a newer version of Peachtree / Sage to get this feature and it is basically the only reason I am considering an upgrade.

I had someone make up their own check, scribble all over it, sign my name and my bank still processed it. It didn't even have my signature on it! 
 It is a sign of times. I would suggest getting some High Security Checks and using those. You can also subscribe to a check service. Check Fraud protection. Not very expensive. $35.00 on 1,000 checks. 
 We have a check sale going on through 6/30/20. You get 20% off and free shipping. We sell 1000 regular checks for only $137.60, 1000 High Security Checks are only $159.20. 
 We can add on the Check Fraud protection for you too.
