Email Spoofing<br />

Email spoofing is the forgery of an Email header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or<br />

somewhere other than the actual source. Distributors of spam often use spoofing in an attempt to get recipients<br />

to open, and possibly even respond to, their solicitations. Spoofing can be used legitimately.<br />

There are so many ways to send the Fake Emails even without knowing the password of the Email ID. The Internet<br />

is so vulnerable that you can use anybody's Email ID to send a threatening Email to any official personnel.<br />

Methods to send fake Emails<br />

Open Relay Server<br />

Web Scripts<br />

Fake Emails: Open Relay Server<br />

An Open Mail Relay is an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server configured in such a way that it allows<br />

anyone on the Internet to send Email through it, not just mail destined ‘To’ or ‘Originating’ from known users.<br />

An Attacker can connect the Open Relay Server via Telnet and instruct the server to send the Email.<br />

Open Relay Email Server requires no password to send the Email.<br />

Fake Emails: via web script<br />

Web Programming languages such as PHP and ASP contain the mail sending functions which can be used to send<br />

Emails by programming Fake headers i.e.” From: To: Subject:”<br />

them provide the free service.<br />
