Computer science news on Phys.org
There are programs that directly send the email to the SMTP server, therefore can specify any subject/sender name/sender email/date/time.
I have seen one made in VB, it used subcalssing to deal with the SMTP.
I will look for one online, and will put the link here if i find any ...
 
most of thos programs still send ur ip address

the best way is to just get a free internet mail account from some web site

if your really paranoid you could proxy into the website before you log on to your email account
 
You can send email to SMTP servers yourself really easily: telnet to port 25 on the desired server

Code: 
HELO foo.com
MAIL FROM: [email]sender@foo.com[/email]
RCPT TO: [email]recipient@bar.com[/email]
DATA
From: fromline
To: toline
Subject: sub

blah
blahblah
.
QUIT
