SMTP Relay

[adnan.masood]

Hi,

In my application, I want people to enter their email addresses and
their friend's email addresses, and then be able to send something
thru email to their friend as if they sent it thru their email
account. I am using my own SMTP server but want to send that email as
if users sent it thru their own account which could be from anywhere,
hotmail, gmail, etc.

I know that this is possible because I see this all the time where we
see email from like linkedin.com that XYZ wants to add you, and
eventhough that email is actually coming from linkedin, it shows as
the email was sent from (e-mail address removed) or something.

Can anybody point me to some article or code which shows this?

Thanks

You can change the FROM address....

but you can't send it through other people's smtp server with knowing their
security settings.
If you could do that, then I could send 1million spam emails through YOUR
smtp client.

Here is a downloadable sample:

Just pay attention to the FROM email.

It will give the appearance of coming from a certain email.

Also be aware that the client's email could have spam filters.....which
could or could not be invoked by your email.
You don't have alot of control over there.

Tell me, have you ever received an email you didn't want?
