masking email addresses?

[Fintin]

anyone know of any programs that can be used to mask an email address? nothing that hides the ICQ or anything...just something that can make up an address and have that be the sending address....i got an idea....

You could use GhostMail...but anyone with a brain can still trace the mailserver you used. So basically, it's good for jokes, but don't try to do anything serious with it or they'll easiliy bust your ass.

Bomb threats sure are fun or are you planning on stalking an ex-girlfriend?
Let me just get my electrical tape and best of Uriah Heap mix tape.

Torture with the old skool.

I you have a unix box [ linux/solaris/bsd ] or one you can access that has sendmail you can do this..

make a file with the following format:

from: <address >
to: <address >
subject: <subject >

--message body--

save it and execute this thru command line

#sendmail -t < message file

the from address will appear whatever you put it.

French page but shouldn't be so hard. Just click one of the 3 links under 'Pour télécharget Ghostmail bla bla bla'.

downloaded it but i cant connet to the server, thanks though, anyone else have any ideas?

Can't connect to the server? You're supposed to let it use your own mailserver.

i have aol...think it would be easier to use a different one?

Shouldn't matter. As long as it's a normal functioning mailserver. It worked perfectly with mine.
