Email spoofing in Linux (received message with no subject and content)

Question

I'm trying to send email using telnet in terminal of my linux. I have connection with telnet now

I have typed the commands below successfully. Unfortunately, I only receive the message with no subject and content. Please help me on how to fix this for it to have the content I typed in the terminal line.

telnet mail.dispostable.com 25
ehlo
MAIL FROM:<[e-mail]>
RCPT TO:<[e-mail]>
DATA
SUBJECT: Test mail
I'm having a hard time on making this appear.
.
quit

After every line typed and entered, message always appears. (.) is used to end the message and proceed to sending.

By the way I got this all from http://dougvitale.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/send-spoofed-emails-with-telnet/

Answer 1

You need to better comply with the standard.

• You need a blank line between your message headers and the body text.
• You should at least give From: and To: headers to avoid getting Apparently-from: added by the MTA.

Try this:

MAIL FROM: <[e-mail]>
RCPT TO: <[e-mail]>
DATA
From: [e-mail]
To: [e-mail]
Subject: Test mail
