I have a question regarding this. I used to spoof mail using telnet (harmless fun with friends) by connecting to my ISP's mail server and going through the whole SMTP thing. Now that I'm at a university, and on a university service, telnet won't let me connect to ANY mail server. I get "the host machine actively refused the connection". Any ideas on why this happens? I use XP (Lord, save me) for my telnet needs.
