Is there a way to connect to either of these. And if there isn't, is there another server I can use?
Any SMTP server allows you to spoof emails. There are no specific servers you need to connect to - all will allow you to input any 'from' address without authentication. Here's how to find the mail server of a domain:
Code:
nslookup -querytype=mx domain.com
Remember to input domain.com, not [url]www.domain.com[/url].
To spoof an email, you need to connect to the server of the target address, not your own service. If I wanted to spoof an email to [email]abc@hotmail.com[/email], I would do this:
Code:
telnet mx*.hotmail.com 25
helo hotmail.com
mail from: test@fakedomain.com
rcpt to: target_email_address@hotmail.com
data
From: test@fakedomain.com
To: target_email_address@hotmail.com
Subject: Testing my email spoofing skills.
This is my spoofed email.
.
quit
It's important to remember the period (.) after the message. This tells the server where the end of the text is.
