How To Send Anonymous Emails

Most of us are very curious to know a method to send anonymous emails to our friends for fun. But the question is, is it possible to send anonymous emails in spite of the advanced spam filtering technology adopted by email service provides like Gmail, Yahoo etc? The answer is YES, it is still possible to bypass their spam filters and send anonymous emails to your friends. For example, you can send an email to your friend with the following sender details.

From: Bill Gates <billg@microsoft.com>

The art of sending this kind emails is known as Email Spoofing. In my previous post on How to Send Fake Email I insisted on using your own SMTP server to send anonymous emails. This method used to work successfully in the past, but today it has a very low success rate since Gmail and Yahoo(all major email service providers) blocks the emails that are sent directly from a PC. In this post I have come up with a new way to send anonymous emails (spoofed emails) that has 100% success rate. If you have to successfully send an anonymous email or spoofed email, you should send it using a relay server.

What is a Relay Server?

In simple words, a relay server is an SMTP Server that is trusted by Google or Yahoo as an authorised sender of the email. So, when you send an email using a relay server, the email service providers like Yahoo and Gmail blindly accept the emails and deliver it to the inbox of the recipient. If the SMTP server is not authorised, Google and Yahoo will reject all the emails sent from this SMTP server. This is the reason for which using our own SMTP server to send emails fail. 

So What’s Next?

Now all we have to do is, find a trusted SMTP server to Send Spoofed Emails. Usually all the emails that are sent from web hosting providers are trusted and authorised. So, you have to find a free web hosting provider that allows you to send emails. But, most of the free Web Hosts disable the Mail feature and do not allow the users to send emails. This is done just to avoid spamming. However all the paid hosting plans allow you to send any number of emails. Once you find a hosting service that allows to send emails from their servers, it’s just a cakewalk to send anonymous emails. All we have to do is just modify the email headers to insert the spoofed From address field into it.

I have created a PHP script that allows you to send emails from any name and email address of your choice. The script can be found here.

Anonymous Email Sender Script

 Here is a step-by-step procedure to setup your own Anonymous Email Sender Script

1. Goto X10 Hosting  and register a new account.

2. Download my Anonymous Email Sender Script (sendmail.rar).

3. Login to your FreeWebHostingArea Account and click on File Manager.

4. Upload the sendmail.php, pngimg.php and bg1.PNG files to the server.

5. Set permissions for sendmail.php, pngimg.php and bg1.PNG to 777.

6. Now type the following URL

http://yoursite.x10hosting.com/sendmail.php

NOTE: yoursite must be substituted by the name of the subdomain that you have chosen during the registration process.

7. Use the script to send Anonymous Emails. Enjoy!!!

Tell me whether it worked or not. Please pass your comments…

    Sri, I tried using both IE and Mozilla, but the Verification Code still would not show up. Could you tell me how to remove the Verification process from the script?

    the verification code is not displaying.in ie or firefox

    What now?

    - 10 March 2009 at 10:52 pm
  • Behemoth said:

    Sri, I edited the code and removed the Verification process since I could not get it to work. The script works perfectly when the Verification part is removed. Thanks for the script.

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ all who have problems wit verification code

    Please excuse me. It was my mistake. I forgot to include the two files pngimg.php and bg1.PNG. Now I have included those files also in the download. Re-download the sendmail.rar file once again, unrar it, upload all 3 files to your server, change the permissions to 777 (for all the 3 files) and everything should work fine.

    hope this solves your problem.

    Any estimate on how long that would take you? I have some specific ideas that I could put into practice if I could send HTML through the message text box.

    Hi, Srikanth
    I tested the email sender and it worked very well, but when i opened the emial, it said ” on behalf of .
    i wanted to get rid of the first email, so that the receiver of the message would think it’s a real email.
    any help?

    oops sorry i typed the first comment incorrectly:

    - 12 March 2009 at 11:51 am
  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Hd,

    When you see the complete Email, you’ll always see the message apache@blah.blah. This is inevitable.

    - 12 March 2009 at 12:59 pm
  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Behemoth

    As of now I am a bit busy with my exam. If you can implement some ideas and come up wid the solution kindly let me know. I’ll post it here.

    - 12 March 2009 at 1:02 pm
  • Behemoth said:

    So far all I can come up with is putting an HTML type &header into the source file, but when I do that and try to send the link it is received as blue, nonclickable text. From what I have been reading it is not possible to send HTML using mail(). It is supposedly possible using something called PHPmail, but I am not familiar with that.

  • Hackerji said:

    Hi Behemoth, u can send html mails using the same scripts prepared by sri,u need to do certain minor changes:

    Remove these:
    $lt= ”;
    $sp= ‘ ‘;
    also remove this header :
    $headers = $from.$fromname.$sp.$lt.$fromemail.$gt;

    Instead,
    add these headers exactly as it is given :
    $headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n”;
    $headers.= $from.$fromname.$fromemail\r\n”;
    $headers.=”Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n”;
    That’s all.Enjoy.

    To Add CC or BCC
    Add the variables below along with the (others like:$to,$subject):
    $cc = $_POST['cc'];
    $bcc = $_POST['bcc'];

    AND
    Add these headers with the other headers:
    $headers.=”cc: $cc\r\n”;
    $headers.=”Bcc: $bcc\r\n”;

    AND
    Add these html codes in the html part :

    cc

    bcc

    Now u’ll see two new boxes named cc and bcc when u open the php file in ur browser.Just type the email id’s, send and enjoy.
    In ur message box, you’ll have to add message in html fromat,links also work perfectly.
    To learn to hack with full help and perfection, write to me on

    The above warning shows that the mail() function has been disabled by your host. Usually this is done to prevent misuse of email service and spam. As a solution change your host and find someone who supports mail().

    Hey Sri, awesome script thanks so much. I couldn’t get the verification to work, tried a lot of things but still no go. I just ended up removing it, but I have another question. Do you know of any way to get this script to send me an email with the person’s IP and email they sent? I would want to at least log it for protective reasons. I’m not sure if its possible, but I guess this wouldn’t be so necessary if I could just get the verification to work. Thanks again for a great script.
