How to change mail from address using x header
The X-Header
!
To change the From
address using an X-Header
, you'll need to use the X-From
or X-Sender
header, depending on the email client or server you're using. Here are some examples:
Using X-From
header:
- In your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird), compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
- In the email header, add the following line:
X-From: [email protected]
Replace
[email protected]
with the desired newFrom
address.
Using X-Sender
header:
- In your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird), compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
- In the email header, add the following line:
X-Sender: [email protected]
Replace
[email protected]
with the desired newFrom
address.
Using X-Envelope-From
header:
- In your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird), compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
- In the email header, add the following line:
X-Envelope-From: [email protected]
Replace
[email protected]
with the desired newFrom
address.
Note: The X-Header
is not a standard header, and its support may vary across different email clients and servers. Some email clients or servers might ignore or reject emails with non-standard headers.
Additional considerations:
- When using
X-From
,X-Sender
, orX-Envelope-From
headers, the originalFrom
address might still be visible in the email header, depending on the email client or server. - Some email clients or servers might not allow you to change the
From
address using these headers, especially if the email is already sent or if the sender's email address is not authorized to send emails from a different address. - If you're using a mail server or a mail relay, you might need to configure the server to allow or reject emails with non-standard headers.
Before using these headers, make sure to check with your email client or server administrator to ensure that they are supported and won't cause any issues.
