Email spoofing

Email spoofing is a term used for an activity when you send a email, which has certain information which has been modified. It certainly will be a good prank to send spoofed mails to your friends from people they admire, (like celebs) or may be something like a mail from god@heaven.com telling them that their behavior has not been up to mark recently.

How is email spoofing done?

Spoofing an email is pretty simple; all you need to have is a mail server and a mail client which will let you edit the headers of the mail. The mail client can be skipped if you know how to connect and interact with a mail server through a terminal.

I'd suggest MiniRelay from Netvicious you can download it from here; or Free SMTP server by Softstack from here.

You could use Quick Mailer as you email client, download quick mailer from here.

Now start Minirelay, minimize it to the taskbar, start Quick Mailer and configure it from the preferences menu under File, to use 'localhost' as outgoing server port number '25' and no authentication. Now type in the required fields, i.e. the 'to' field (compulsory), the 'from' field (compulsory), the 'subject' field (optional), and attach any files (optional), and now send this mail.

To the receiver the senders email will look just as you typed, regardless of the ownership of the email address.

Bummer

Sometimes the recipients email provider refuses to accept emails originating from dynamic IP addresses, if this is the case you can try to use free proxies found on the net, but make sure that they support SMTP proxy and not just HTTP proxy. Or you could try by using Proxy Helpers

Proxy Helpers

Sometimes we come across applications or games which have no native support for proxy settings in it, which many of us find annoying. Sometimes we desperately need that proxy support, may be to run a game which doesn't have one.

Is there a solution?

Of course, Proxy Helpers or 'socksifier' will allow any application which doesn't have proxy support to run via the Your Freedom proxy network instead of connecting directly. Proxy Helpers have cross platform support. Currently there are versions available for Windows 2000 and above, MAC OS X, and a java application which can be used in Linux. Even multiple executable applications can be 'socksified' with Proxy Helpers. You can download the application from your-freedom.net

Installation and usage details can be found on the Docs page.

Bummer:

This service requires that you register at your-freedom.net, though they do have a free service that lets you use it with a 64kbps speed cap, for 1 hour continuously, up to 6 hours in any 24 hour interval, up to 18 hours in any week interval.
