You dont need hotmail's smtp server to send mails. Any smtp server will do.

Anyway I would imagine that their smtp server would only allow connections from *.hotmail.com

i know i can send emails using any server. but one problem:
if you use, for example, lets assume hotmail's smtp server is "mail.hotmail.com". Then every u send your email, the "FROM" field will be the name u type, THEN FOLLOW BY hotmail.com even you are not a member of it.

get it??

and i read somewhere that hotmail is not using smtp to send emails, instead HTTP.,,,,,,, confusing

pls any help will do
thanx!

i want hotmail's server coz i want the "FROM" filed to contain @hotmail.com at the endw
well any
do u know howta decode / encode a file???

Well to have the @hotmail.com part just find an old smtp server that allows you to fake your e-mail address.
Still loads around on the net.

In relation to encoding a file, search the forums for a Base64 encoder/decoder.

To send an email to a specific user at a domain, you have to connect to that specific domains mail server. This can be found using a number of 'look-up' tools on the net...

If you send email through an *anonymous* re-mailer/proxy, then all this does is simply relay your email to the requested domains mail server.

Hotmail's SMTP mail server is mail.hotmail.com. If you wanted to send an email to me, you would have to connect to mail.hotmail.com and send the SMTP commands. You wouldn't be able to send an email to a hotmail address using the VB-World mail server etc. Hope this makes sense.

Using SMTP, it is possible to spoof all information, except the recipient address.

No you dont.
You send e-mail through your own, or any other smtp server.

i tried mail.hotmail.com already to send an email to my own inbox, but didn't work

thanx!
