D A R N !

Well…  I appreciate the idea that you guys are blowing holes thru my theories, 'cause…
When we arrive at a plan that ya' can't blow a hole thru,
THEN we have a Winner !

The website is Completely legit. 
This is a BRILLIANT business plan that WILL work…
The only problem is that I MUST use CL !
The profit potential is Enormous.
And (this you may or may not know)… 
CL is NOT interested in having any business partnerships.
CL management is not interested in becoming billionaires.
That's why CL remains very a simple website…  no banner ads, etc…
They already make over $20 million/year, just from the few ads that they charge for.
And with maybe 45 employees…  $20 mill is plenty for their needs, they say.

Emailing from the one website server probably won't work, because…
In the ONE CL location that I've been actually working this project,
I find about 300 new ads per day that I am interested in.
300 emails per day is not a big deal.
And with the (random) time lapse between each email,
It would take about 10 hours to send them all…  thus, we're not running 24/7.

However…  when this thing is fully operational,
and I expand to the other 600? CL locations around the country…
EACH of them might have about 300 ads…  that's a total of 180,000 emails per day.
Some people Might consider that Bulk email / spam.    ;)

I understand…  the "handshake" thing between computers.
OK…  can't spoof browser IP info.  D a r n.

OK…  I guess I'll start studying VPS / VPN stuff.

Thanks very much for the continued conversations, people.

p.s.  If you can make this work, please PM or email me.

Gee…  a reply from the Administrator !  I feel So Special !   :)

OK…  seriously,…  Thanks for the lengthy information, Ande.

The email that I send to the CL sellers includes a link to my website.
THAT single email is the Only communication that I want with the seller.
I won't send any more emails to him, and I don't want to receive any reply email from him.
My website further helps him to sell his item, for free.

I suppose that I could run this Perl program from the website host server,
or I could run it from my home PC.  Is either one better than the other, for some reason?

Maybe I'm planning ahead too much…  if you think the entire thing is impossible.

Oooooooohhhhhhhh…  you might have a great idea, there…
I can create 10 Gmail accts, 10 Yahoo accts, 10 Hotmail accts…
And have the Perl script rotate thru them to send the emails.
(THAT is possible…  yes?)
I've already decided that the Perl script should have a random time lapse
(1 to 3 minutes) whilst browsing CL, in order to look like a real user. 
So, sending from DIFFERENT Gmail accts every (6?) minutes should not be a problem…  yes?
Did we just solve the emailing problem?

Now…  the Browsing…
Again…  I only want CL to think that I'm browsing in Dallas, or wherever.
The Perl script will scan the website, click to open a seller's ad page, then random pause, then click on the Mailto link.
That's all I want it to do.
DO I WANT to get anything BACK from CL ?  I don't think so.
WHAT do I want or need to get back from CL ?

If I'm barkin' up the wrong tree…  OK.
Do I need to start learning everything I can about VPN and/or VPS ?
I can't afford sh1t right now, but my website IS a Terrrific (potential ) money-maker.
Let me know if you think you can solve these problems, and want to make some $.

You (and Kulverstukas earlier) mentioned disabling Java… 
I recall reading somewhere that if you do have Java on your machine… 
even if you temporarily disable it… 
there are holes / backdoors thru which Java stuff can still be run.
Are you aware of that?

Thanks very much for your thoughts, people.

What are you planning? A massive attack on the US government? :P

Zesh...  not that it doesn't Need or Deserve it, but...  unfortunately, I'm not planning anything like that. 

I'm trying to get a Perl script written for me that will find certain ads on the Dallas or Denver or wherever Craigs-List websites (the Browsing) and then click on the CL Mailto link to send an email to the seller.  Those emails go thru the CL servers, and CL ads are intended for a Local audience.  So, I want CL to think that I'm actually IN Dallas or Denver, or any of the other 700 CL locations around the USA.

I don't want to deal with proxies…  too much trouble, and maybe impossible, anyway. 
I'd need a Buttload of proxies.

Rent a VPN thats in the area you want.

Jath...  I know nothing about Virtual Private Networks (I just looked up that acronym). 

I thought that national IPs database would be VERY Valuable in this scenario.
Is there No Way it can help me?

Can this be done?

Thanks very much for the replies.

Thanks for the reply.

Again...  I don't just want Anonymous browsing…  I specifically want it to look like I'm sitting in Dallas, or Detroit, or Denver.

I was hoping that this could be useful...
I've got a database with all IP numbers in the USA, and their approximate location.

Can it be done?

Thanks.

Anonymity and Privacy / Questions about anonymity and IP addresses

Hi, people.

When sending an email, you can (spoof?) the headers, so that the email appears to be coming from any IP address...  and that is 100% anonymous. 
I think THAT's what bulk emailers and spammers do?
I have no desire to send a million spam emails…  I'm asking about the process.
And…  THAT is 100% anonymous…  Is that correct?

And my second question…  What about Browsing the internet?
IF sending emails CAN be done 100% anonymous, CAN BROWSING be similarly done, without going thru the trouble of using proxies?
But…  I don't just want Anonymous browsing…  I specifically want it to look like I'm sitting in Dallas, or Detroit, or Denver, by using an IP address in one of those cities (or some other method?).
I've got a database with all IP numbers in the USA, and their approximate location.
When browsing thru a website with Firefox, is there a way to "spoof" something to make it look like I'm sitting in Dallas, or Denver?

Thanks.
