REVENGE!...how do I make an email look like it came from another address??

[Techie333]

I think it would be really funny if I threatened my friend a bit after he embarassed me! How do I make an email look like it is comming from another email address?? Like I send it from my yahoo account but in the from line it says from blahbalh@hotmail.com????

I know the spam people can do it so how do I?

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

i don't think it's possible...you do know about trace routes and stuff too right?

I know how, but I'm not telling you. Don't be a moron. It's like rolling the odometer back on your car.

That doesn't remove the actual email address from the headers.

Haha! This post cracks me up... go read the RFC on SMTP and install a mail server or something, yeesh!

this is easily done, but i will not indulge you with the knowledge required.
1) it is illegal to mask your ip when sending e-mail
2) it is also illegal to threaten someone by e-mail, im, aim, etc...
3) i am not going to be part of such an immature thing to do

you win the jackass of the day award

At least changes the reply-to so the uneducated who click reply will send it to a bogus address.

You moron. Why don't you just freaking sign up for a new account? Jesus Christ.
