-----------------------------------
does the e-mail get sent back to the sender or just... vanish?

what do you mean? when a school board blocks e-mail access or when a certain e-mail just doesn't exists or is banned from the, let's say, hotmail network? :?

It could reside on servers at the ISP or hotmail or whatever or they might delete it, but you usually get a message from the system that says "mail could not be delivered" and it has the text of your message like in a reply email.

It all depends on what progame is doing the blocking, it's setings and why.

For exmaple the spam blocker on compsci.ca will save a copy of the spam in a spam folder on the server. While any e-mails that are sent to non-exsiting compsci.ca e-mails will send back aswell as save a copy some where.

Another exmaple whould be that hotmail will send back the e-mail if your inbox is full and can not sotre anything.

cause i was thinking, it would be funny if you block yourself and send it to yourself and then it forms a loop, lol... but that's probably not gonna happen...

about doing wierd things with email... is it possible to make a simple application that will automatically generate mail and send it? i'm thinking that it is because of gay spammers... but I thought it would be funny to send 100 page emails of gibberish to people i dont like so their mailbox would get clogged. and if they use hotmail then it deletes some of their mail if they dont check it..

VB is easily integrated with Outlook... so you can do a whole bunch of stuff using that combination :lol:

I get alot of spam on the compsci email for some reason, 90% of them innocent looking named, but with attachments and have nothing written except they're supposably virus safe because of one type of anti virus or some other, "norman antivirus" was the one I saw today.

is it possible to create an email client with turing? well theoretically you can write a shell in turing over an unencripted php script... but that's as close as you can get (unless someone has a better idea) and it would be easier to just write the compleat thing in PHP anyways :lol:

If someone were to do this mass mail prank how easy would it be for the recipient to trace it back to the source?

Very easily, unless you use anonymous e-mail.

Hey Dan, is the CompSci.ca anonymous mail still workin'?  :twisted:

While that whould be a very slow way of doing it since there is a cap on how many msgs you can send per time frame with the compsci.ca mailer.

:D I tried viewing the source to see if I could leech your code and write my own, uncapped one. No luck though. Maybe I can google hack the site and get a hold of that file?  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

IMO, ppl tend to help you less, and favor you less, when you keep choosing that twisted smilie.

That kind of attitude is like saying to Dan, "Hey Dan, is your mom still hot?  :twisted: "

not a good way, as you can see

ya, lol.

I dont think it is posable for you to get the code ether, since it is a php file it will allways genreate the html file unless there is somting very wrong with the server. 

There is nothing hard about making the code. The e-mail system was not desgined for seruity, all you have to do is uses the mail comand in php and it takes an e-mail adderes and stuff as paramters basiclky.

if you are still intrested i will post the code on the site.

Wow, chill. It's meant to be a joke. It's not like I'm going to lose sleep trying to constantly bombared the server in attempts to steal the code when It's a lot easier for me to just write my own.

And where the fuck do you come from trying to insult me because of my use of smilies? I'm not even going to bother making an argument out of that.
