sending a email from just IP/Host Name

[TiziteLayinLow]

i know theres a way to send someone an email from just their IP address or host name?? also how would i use netbios to get their name and computer name and things like that? i know a while back i was able to get computer name from winsock with vb.. but i had to get them to access the winsock port which i dont want to do.

any help is appreciated.

Is this a question or a badly punctuated statement?

Simply put, no, I would think not. One's IP address and one's e-mail address exist entirely independently of one another. If you have an e-mail that this individual sent you then it may contain his IP address, but in that case you already have his e-mail address and this thread becomes moot.

What are you trying to accomplish?

I'd say he accomplished annoying people with questatements that aren't valid. 😉

I think he can accomplish the first goal by running a local SMTP server...it would actually do the communications with the target email machine instead of going through his ISP's SMTP server, which would accomplish a very small amount of "cloaking". The originating machine's IP address would be in the SMTP header, along with its domain and machine name.

wow, talk about flaming me..lol

No, to be honest i find that the simplier the post is .. the more it gets answered therefore sorry for the lack of wording and grammar, didn't know this was english class..jk

Second of all, the reasoning behind sending the email is NOT spam, i hate spam. back in my childhood days i would scan IPs for open ports and one day I got an email from one of the guys who I probed. Now, I would like to know how he did that so if my firewall shoots off an attempt, I can do the same thing.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

ttt- someone has to know about TCP/IP around here...?

If you were scanning for open port you should know about tcp/ip before doing so.........No answer for you.

Or fire up telnet, telnet into a server with port 25(supports smtp) ... then
use the below syntax

mailfrom:<eigen@layinlow.com>
rcpto:<asdsd@asd.com>
Subject😀sfd
info....
.

Hit return..

Is that what you wanted.

Responding to people scanning you is generally a complete waste of time. Why do you want to do it?

im a networking major right now and when i get to be a network admin, i want to have the ability to get names off of IPs.. i mean does it really matter the motive behind it? i didnt know it was "top secret" .. its no big deal ill just ask my professor im sure theres got to be a way that if the netbeui is enabled and the port isnt filtered.. theres gotta be a way since its all stored in there..

The names the you would likely be able to get from an IP address over the internet are DNS names as provided by the ISP. You should not be able to see the name of the device or NetBIOS name of the machine/workgroup/user if NetBIOS is disabled over TCP/IP on the end destination.

Even if you get the name of the PC, the user account name (the name can be ficticious), or the workgroup name, this is not the same as the e-mail account name which is usually hosted elsewhere by the company, org, ISP, etc.
