I have built a small classified ads application.  A person can put in an item for sale and it will diaplay the item.  On the input form for the ad they enter their email address.

 

I am looking for an application that will display an anonymous email address on the classified ad and send to the anonmmous email through to their real email address.  I would prefer to do this through the web server of the client and not have to set up a Google Apps or third party email accout for the "catch all"  account.

 

Any recommendation for tutorials to explain and illustrate how to write this code.

 

Thanks in advance for any assist.

So?  You simply don't want to publish your user's email addresses on the site - that's why you want a 'fake' address displayed?  I would do that with a db table that creates a record for the fake address that you assign and link it to a real address for the user.

You can have it where the website handles the transactions where the emails are sent via the webpage (acting like the middle man) and you could give the seller (or buyer) to opt out if so desire. 

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
