Open outlook, goto tools -> email accounts
Select one of your email accounts to edit.
Change the from address to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or create a CFM page to send an email.
Set the from address as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There you go.

The from address you send an email from can be anything you like, this has
nothing to do with the mail server, which only validates the acocunt you are
logging into to send the email.

Subject: OT: How do "Phishermen" send an email from a legitimate domain?

Good morning, all.

I, like many others, get phishing emails frequently, and can catch the spoof
simply by looking at the hyperlinks of addresses.such as [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which going to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but my question is:

How can a phishing email be sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?  How can the
PayPal.com domain be used if their email servers are set up correctly?

I ask because I get phishing email sent to me using my own domain
frequently, but I assume I haven't got everything set up perfectly, nor do I
know how.
It's
not too bad to live with at this point.  I just wonder how that can do that
with PayPal's domain, as well.

Rick
