Email Spoofing

Okay well I know how it's done and everything…. but every time I've done it so far it doesn't seem to work… I'm guessing it's the server so does anyone know a server where this can deffinately be done?

And if you know any where you can send emails to "outside" adresses that would be great as I beleive that on most servers you can only send to adresses "inside" the server…. (e.g on hotmail I think you can only send to a hotmail adress when "spoofing"

Umm okay I don't know if any of that made sense… :P

where does it fail? after you connect, do you get the welcome message, and after you type helo it fucks up, coz if you don't get to that point your ISP probably blocks port 25

Lets say you want to send an email too foo@yahoo.com first you need to find the smtp server related to that address. So in cmd type: nslookup set type=MX yahoo.com // or the domain that the address belongs to. this will show you the smtp servers of that domain. in this case the output will be something like: Non-authoritative answer: yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = f.mx.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = g.mx.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = a.mx.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = b.mx.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = c.mx.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = d.mx.mail.yahoo.com yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = e.mx.mail.yahoo.com …

so you can use any of those servers

I hope this helps ;)

Ok try it on a different server like yahoo and see if that works. cuz i remember I tried to send some to hotmail but they were never delivered. I think the problem is the hotmail servers. hotmail sucks even regular emails sometimes aren't delivered to hotmail users. :right:

Maybe I'm doing something wrong…

and on Yahoo would it let me send to another server?

E.G to a gmail account (just an example)

well i tried it 5 only 5 times on hotmail and none were delivered. then tried sending regular email to the same address and out of 3 email only one of them were delivered with a delay of 4 days :D

anyway, the answer is no, I told you if you want to send an email to a gmail user then you have to use a gmail smtp server and you find it the way i explained earlier.

Yeah, I know. I just also heard that some servers can send to others if you know what I mean.

yes i know, like if you find a cheesy smtp server it might do that if it is not configured properly or the one who set it up didn't know how to disable that feature. As far as i know, there aren't much of those smtp servers now. I used to know some but i don't know any now :happy:

Does it matter which thing I use? for example… mx1.hotmail.com or mx2.hotmail.com does it make a difference which I use?
