Did you ever want to send an email from your friend’s Email ID? But could not just because you didn’t have the password to his mail account. Had it been your wish to get a mail from a celebrity so that you could show off to your friend’s?
Then here at GeeksCafe you can learn to send email to anyone on this planet using a name and email id of your choice, no matter whether you are the owner of the email id or not!
If you are too lazy to go for programming, simply head to PHPmail created by me to send anonymous mails to your friends. It is protected by password. Leave a comment if you want to use this site and the password will reach your inbox within 24 hours.
Before you start reading this post, lemme tell you that I wrote this article in a hurry at night so there can be many typos and grammatical errors. Its quite possible that some of the steps may have not been explained properly. If you have any doubt at any step, you can contact me.
In earlier days, when the world was not affected much by spams, the email servers used accept mails from any IP regardless it is listed in their database or not. So we could simply set up a SMTP server on our system using some kind of software like QK SMTP Server and start sending mails directly from our PC regardless we have a acceptable static IP or not. But now a days if you try this process, your mail will land up in the Junk Mail of the recepient or the recepient’s server may totally refuse to accept it.
So or this we need to send the mail using an IP which will be acceptable by the recepient’s mail server. The best way for this is to send the mail from some website using PHP. PHP provides a very useful function mail() with the help of which we can send mails directly from a forum, blog or any website (even by mentioning our own headers!). So out here we wil be using PHP to send mails from any id and the stepwise description s given below.
At the outset, lemme tell you that I just a beginner in programming in HTML and PHP, so if you can find any ways of optimising the codes, please let me know.
Step 1:
Let us make a form in HTML so that we can compose the email to be sent. Let this name this file as phpmail.html. For the form you can use the code written below. Here we have taken five fields, viz. to email, from name, from email id, subject and message. The values of the entered fields are posted to a PHP file by the name of sendmail.php.
<html> <head> <title>PHP mail</title> </head> <h2 align="center">PHP Mail - Scripted by Goutam</h2><br> <form action="sendmail.php" method="POST"> <b>To Email ID</b><br> <input type="text" name="toemail" size="30"><br> <br><b>From Name (can be anything of your choice)</b><br> <input type="text" name="fromname" size="30"><br> <br><b>From Email ID (this can also be anything of your choice)</b><br> <input type="text" name="fromid" size="30"><br> <br><b>Subject</b><br> <input type="text" name="subject" size="30"><br> <br><b>Message</b><br> <textarea rows="4" name="message" cols="40"></textarea><br> <br><input type="submit" value="Send" name="Send"> <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"> </form> </body> </html>
Step 2:
We will now create the php file by the name of sendmail.php. This code accepts the string values of the data entered in the form that we created just sometime back. It uses the function mail() which has the following prototype :
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
The arguments passed to the function mail() are quite self-explanatory except the argument ‘headers’ which is meant to include additional details for the mail, like From, Cc, Bcc etc. In our PHP code we will only be including “From : ” in the header so that we can send a spoofed mail. For the PHP script, you can use the following code. Simply copy and paste it in Notepad and save it by the name of sendmail.php.
<?php $toemail = $_POST['toemail']; $fromname = $_POST['fromname']; $fromid = $_POST['fromid']; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $message = $_POST['message']; $headers = "From: $fromname <$fromid>"; mail($toemail,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Mail Sent!"; exit(); ?>

abhishek said
friend thanks for your this contribution its great and i need the password
abhishek said
thanks brother …i want the password of this site
abhishek said
unable to upload sendmail.php band how to protect this site by password please mail the codes
Goutam Mandal said
Thanks for showing interest in this post. Instead of using PHPmail I would suggest you to create your own site for sending mails coz that’s going to give you a real feeling of hacking. Anyways please tell me in detail about the error that you got while uploading sendmail.php so that the problem can be sorted out. Also mention the where you are hosting your site. Just keep in mind not all hosting companies have mail() activated.
abhishek said
yeah i uploaded that web page successfully on the freewebhostingarea thanks for the code but all the mails i tried to send cant be successfully sent.only two mails out 6 to 8 mails were sent ..alll other dont know where went..please tell me about password securing this site .
Goutam Mandal said
@Abhishek : If you were able to send a mail at least once then it is for sure that all the setup is fine. It may only be a temporary problem on the server side due to which some of your mails did not get delivered. You should always keep in mind that you are using a free host and there are always going to be some limitations. There have been many instances when my PHPmail did not function properly. If you are facing too much troubles with freevar, you may switch to 000webhost or x10hosting.
Anyways as for your query to password protecting your site add the following lines to phpmail.html just after the message field
and put the entire contents of the sendmail.php from under the if condition like:
<?php { if ($_POST["pwd"] == "yourpassword") { $toemail = $_POST['toemail']; $fromname = $_POST['fromname']; $fromid = $_POST['fromid']; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $message = $_POST['message']; $headers = "From: $fromname <$fromid>"; mail($toemail,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Mail Sent!"; exit(); } else { echo "Wrong password!"; exit(); } } ?>abhishek said
thaks for your help ..i wish i could gain knowledge from you

Sumit said
You are the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
Thanks for all the info and even helped in looking for the webhost. Kooooool man.
today I installed it and it works beautifully. I am indebted to you man.
What I have done I have added a login screen to protect my main mailer.
bye thanks
Sumit said
@Anuj Upadhyay – instead of asking for the pass why dont you make yourself one.
this is my link : http://xtrememailer.2freedom.com
its protected with flash (swf) password protection.
Goutam Mandal said
I saw your xtrememailer… The design is quite impressive… But I think it would be better if you could avoid the use of flash for login…. Because such things may lead to incompatibilty with browsers (especially in mobile platform)… I wasn’t able to open it in my mobile 😦 Is it open for regd. to anybody or are you going to use it for personal use only???
Sumit said
by the way boss, is there any way to add captcha or recaptcha or human verification to the form to prevent bots?
Goutam Mandal said
Yes it is quite easy to add captcha validation with PHP. Just use the image handling and manipulating ability of PHP. Ok I will try to update the article with captcha and field validation check within a few days. But you need ont wait for me. Just google it. You will get many free scripts to implement captcha.
Sumit said
Thanks a ton for your prompt response.
Sumit said
just wanted to ask you one more stuff
that is there any way to add “Reply to : email” so that
the recipient when he clicks reply the email address
comes to the reply to email instead of the fake address.
This option is available in some of the net spoofers.
By the way I am en route to implementing re-captch in the form.
Goutam Mandal said
Just concate this to the header and when the recepient clicks on “Reply” the mail is sent to the pre-defined id and not to the fake one
Just let me know if it works according to your expectation 🙂
Sumit said
Thanks for your comments on the website.
I plan to open it for public very soon.
i didnt realize that people can open
these sites from mobile since cross
platform compatibility is often a issue.
The reason I used flash is mostly because
I targeted windows users.I was not
aware that you cant see swf in mobile
platform.
Sumit said
I am not much acquainted with php
can u tell me where to place it exactly
I am fine with html,java,javascript,dhtml etc
Goutam Mandal said
Just add the following lines before
mail()is executed:$replyto="\nReply-To: yourid@example.com";
$headers.= $replyto; //Notice the dot (.) before '='
Sumit said
Thanks boss, now it is clear.
I have upgraded my hosting to a paid account in
free web hosting arena and also in 000webhost.com
both of them allows unlimited emails.
Sumit said
Hi how are you people
check my website
hope said
hey buddies..i have some questions
1.how i could send html format links
2.how to get the message straight into hotmail inbox or at least changing the header
Goutam Mandal said
Please repost your question(s) mentioning your problem(s) clearly so that they can be answered.
hope said
ok ,when i send email from this script to an hotmail email address it’s show -Apache sender- not the fake address which was formerly selected by me…also all my emails arrive to junk folder ,
ps: i would include “html masked links” on my sent messages
thanks Goutam
Goutam Mandal said
I am not sure why is it showing Apache Sender. But the mails are going to spam folder may be because hotmail does not recognise the server/ip address from which the script is executed and considers it a spam. You can try using

Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I
was wondering which blog platform are you using
for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
