You should try the telnet port 25 trick. It is amazingly simple (but not secure). Just "telnet some.machine.com 25" and type help. It will guide you through it. It is quite informative.

Se sure to test it first, sometimes it records who *really* sent it as well as the "forged" return address.

Test it by mailing to yourself and then look at all the headers.

I should have been more clear. I was advocating this as interesting and educational, not as an effective anonymity technique. -Lance ---------------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server.
