E-MAIL FORGING

Introduction
Email forging is a method to send any email showing t
their email address without signing in on email account.
Many e-mail viruses use a technique known as "Spoofing" by which the worm randomly selects an address it finds on an infected computer. The worm uses this address as the"Form" address when it performs its mass-mailing routine. Numerous cases have been reported in which users of uninfected computers recieved complaints that they sent an infected message to another individual.
How it works?
The Simple mail Transfer Potocol or the SMTP is the facto standard protocol that is used by e-mail clients on the Internet. It is the protocol that defines how e-mail clients communicate with the mail servers to send e-mails. This protocol is used by the SMTP daemon that by default runs on Port 25 of a mail server. Each time a user writes an e-mail and Clicks on the SEND button, the e-mail client automatically issues SMTP commands to the remote mail server and sends the specified message.
Unfortunately, the SMTP protocol also makes extremely easy for an attacker to send forged e-mails to remote user. It is possible for a user to connect manually to the SMTP port25 of a remote mail server and use SMTP commands to send forged e-mails.
Well nowadays there are online E-mail Spoofing sites such as http://www.anonymizer.in/fake-mailer & http://emkei.cz/.
