Title: Spoof email addresses
Post by: Power to people on Thursday, August 7, 2008, 14:35:57
Anyone know of a programme that will allow you to send emails from a spoof email address

There's a guy in our office who keeps phoning up Nectar and complaining that he has not been given all his Nectar points and wanting them to fix it, we want to send him a spoof email from Nectar advising all his points have been removed as requested and watch him phone them....

Cruel but funny

So any help appreciated

Get your IT Dept to change your outgoing email alias...

Can't have any trace of who it has come from so it can't be traced back to me.....hence why I want a spoof address that looks real but isn't real !

Even if you spoof the email headers he can still find out where it came from.

As long as it isn't sent from a work email account - we can just create a hotmail account or  something  - but he's not that clever anyway to work it out, blimey he had to ask me this afternoon how to get into device manager in XP one of the easiest things to do

If you are using AD, you can set up a new user then set up a mail alias with a different domain name to your usual.
