SPOOFED MAILS

Email stands for Electronic Mail. Email sending and receiving is controlled by the Email servers. Email service providers configureEmail Server before anyone can Sign into his or her account and start communicating digitally. Users from across the world register in to these Email servers and setup an Email account.

Email Travelling Path :-

Let’s say we have two Email providers, one is gmail.com and other is yahoo.com, ABC is a registered user in gmail.com and XYZ is a registered user in yahoo.com.

·        ABC signs in to his Email account in gmail.com, he then writes a mail to the xyz@yahoo.com and sends the message.

·        But what happens behind the curtains, the Email from the computer of abc@gmail.com is forwarded to the Email server of gmail.com. Server of gmail.com then looks for yahoo.com on the internet and forwards the Email of the yahoo.com for the account of XYZ@yahoo.com. Yahoo server puts that email in that account.

·        XYZ then sits on computer and signs in to her Email account. Now she has the message in her Email inbox.

Sending Fake/spoofed Email: -

Fake or spoofed email means the email from any email ID. It doesn't matter whether the sender's email really exists or not. Sender's email ID can be anything@anything.com. 

Methods: -

·        Using Open Relay servers: - An open relay server is that which allows people to send email by connecting to it.User connect to it via telnet and instructs server to send email. This method is outdated or simply I should say that, it doesn't work. I would not talk about it more.

·        Using Websites: - There are numberless websites that provide free service to send fake emails. But the problem is that they attach the advertisements along with your email.  But the best two, I have found that do not attach the advertisements.
