[comp.mail.headers] changing headers to fake address

burglin@frodo.mgh.harvard.edu (Thomas Burglin) (04/06/91)

I was wondering if it is possible to change the header of a mail
message in such a way that it appears to come from somewhere else.
(always good for a practial joke...)
We are running VMS, and I am using standard MAIL.  
However, if it is not possible using mail, maybe there is a way
to send out messages some other way that allows to change
the header.
How much of the header can be changed?
I.e. if I send over internet,  can I change
my whole address (frodo.mgh.harvard.edu) to something else,
or can I only change the frodo part?
I preferably would like to change everything, such
that the message would come from xxx@yyy.zzz.edu   ...
Any help appreciated.
If this is not the right newgroup, I welcome suggestions
for where else I should look.

Thanks.
Thomas
