If you want to build an SMTP server using PHP, go ahead. http://php.net/sockets However, at some point, your SMTP server has to send the email to another SMTP server if you want it to go somewhere. That SMTP server will record where the email came "From" in the email headers. Best you could do would be to forge a bunch of headers "before" those, and then choose randomly from the open relays so that nobody can figure out which is the common mail server doing the forgery. Even then, it's only a matter of time before a determined sysadmin could find you and hunt you down. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
