In the past, I have tried SMTP servers like QK SMTP server. This method used to work successfully in those days, but as of now, it has a very low success rate since Gmail and Yahoo (all major email service providers) blocks the emails that are sent directly from a home computer.
How to Send Spoofed Emails?What is a Relay Server?
In simple words, a relay server is an SMTP Server that is trusted by major companies as an authorized sender of the email. So, when you send an email using a relay server, the email service providers like Yahoo and Gmail blindly accept the emails and deliver it to the inbox of the recipient.
