Hello All,

I've a doubt..

One can send spoofed mail by using telnet to smtp server of hotmail.
telnet mx1.hotmail.com 25

250 <[email protected]> Queued mail for delivery
U can know more 'bout this by juz. giving a quick search on google... or El-Half's Email Forge page if u donno...

I've used DNSLookup 'n found similar servers of yahoo and rediffmail
(ie. mx1.mail.yahoo.com and mail3.rediffmail.com)
But the above method doesn't work for yahoo or rediff...

On Yahoo i tried ..
telnet mx2.mail.yahoo.com 25

220 YSmtp mta205.mail.scd.yahoo.com ESMTP service ready
HELO

501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments
What could be the problem ??
Is it becoz yahoo and rediff servers configured in a slightyly different manner ??
Does anybody know how u could actually do it on yahoo or rediff ??

I'm actually afraid whether I'm gonna get negged 4 starting this thread. Nowadays I've seen so much of neggin' in forums, most of them which I see less reason ( maybe they juz. neg some newbies to banlance their APs). Anywayz... I'm expecting your help. Thanx.

Cheers.
