Its nobody’s business if you don’t want it to be
Aren’t you tired of everybody knowing that you sent them an e-mail? Can’t you send something that nobody can trace ? Of course you can. Just depends how mysterious and secretive you would like to be. One simple option is a using a spambox e-mail like this one

That e-mail will simply redirect people to a e-mail you designated and no one will know your real e-mail address, in this case you can expect an redirected e-mail reply.
You could also send e-mails that self destruct or e-mails that switch your IP making tracing difficult. The most bizarre thing you can do is to send a complete fake e-mail. Yes, you are reading correctly. A completely phony e-mail. For example

How can you do this? Well… There are a just a few simple steps. First, you'll need to decide on the FROM and the TO email addresses. If the FROM address that you're choosing isn't a real one, make sure that the domain name (the bit after the @ sign) is a real one. If it's not a real one, it almost certainly won't work. For the purpose of this tutorial, we'll be sending from

to

. Second, you'll need to find out the mail server that your recipient is using. |
| Click Start, Run, enter "CMD", then presss OK. In the window that comes up, type nslookup -q=MX dummy.com | |
| Go to Applications, Utilities, and choose Terminal. In the window that comes up, type nslookup -q=MX dummy.com | |
| Bring up your favourite shell, and type nslookup -q=MX dummy.com | There will be a lot of information on the screen - all you need to look for is a line that talks about a mail exchanger. If there are several, pick the one with the lowest "preference number". dummy.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.dummy.com Now, you'll need to connect to this mail exchanger using telnet. This is the same for any PC, but Vista users may not have it installed by default . When you're ready, type: telnet mail.dummy.com 25 Press enter, and after a short pause, you should see a welcome message from the server. |
