Best way to send anonymous email like craigslist

php email anonymous
Levi picture Levi · Apr 13, 2009 · Viewed 8.1k times · Source

Craigslist has a nice feature where when you respond to a poster you respond to an email such as [email protected]. The email is then in turn directed to the real email.

I am looking for a couple pointers on how to do this with PHP.

Thanks,
Levi

This is usually done by piping an e-mail address (often, a catch-all address) to PHP. Here's a tutorial on doing it that should get you started in the right direction.
