A PHP script to send email from any Email ID without permission
Try out the live demo here.
A neatly written PHP script that leverages loopholes of existing email technology and SMTP protocols to send emails from any Email address without permission. If not for spoofing, this script can also be used as a general solution for sending emails from HTML forms in your project or website to avoid using plugins like PHPMailer, SwiftMailer, etc.
- Ultralight - just a small PHP snippet
- Option to send email directly from snippet or using an HTML form
- No plugin (PHPMailer, SwiftMailer, etc.) is required
- SMTP settings configuration options
- HTML validated and secured
- Debugging options
- Demo included
- HTML forms - contact us, feedback, report a bug, etc.
- Spoofed emails - send spam or prank your friends
- Include the PHP code (direct or form bases) in your project
- Customize the HTML and PHP code to suit your form fields
- Run your PHP code on a server that is configured for SMTP
IE9+, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and everything else.
- PHP mail function does not support authentication. To use PHP Mail() function provided in this script you will need to use authentication-less SMTP servers. Either setup your own SMTP server on localhost/cloud. If not, you can host this PHP code on a less secured SMTP service like 000webhost which uses localhost to send emails or configure this script to point to an open SMTP service provider.
- Emails sent from this script may be marked as spam especially if the reciever uses Gmail or any such highly secured email inbox.
- Content type header will not work on some servers
