Re: MAIL FROM NO ONE

Vins, Yes, talk to port 25 of any smtp server using php. You would need to implement the full RFCs on smtp and its re-inventing the wheel. There are already classes to talk to whichever smtp server you want. Whichever smtp server you sent the mail to would log it, and the server it came from. Competent smtp servers will want to do both forward and reverse dns lookups on the computer connecting to it, and that is if it was an open relay (allowing anything to connect). So you would hide the originating computer in the chain in the email headers, but still leave a full audit trail in the next computer's logs. The only reason I can think of for wanting to do this is to send spam. Its the fastest way for your isp to kick you off that I know of (faster than not paying the bill). Its a Bad Idea (tm).
