Mail spoofing is a kind of identity theft in which a mail sender (the spoofer) masquerades as somebody else, by sending e-mail using that individual’s e-mail address. Spoofed mail (often, but not necessarily, spam) is usually attributed to the ostensible sender, the recipient not realizing that the mail was really sent by someone else. A more malicious motivation for spoofing involves malware, such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and the like. As an unwitting recipient of malware, you may have believed that the e-mail you received was from a trusted friend, when in fact it was sent by a spoofer.
The technology behind dynamic mail content mail makes it extremely difficult to spoof without determining the spoofer’s real identity. This is because whenever e-mail is sent using dynamic mail content, the sender's registered e-mail address and password are included in the mail transaction. So, unless the sender had determined beforehand someone's password, spoofing becomes very difficult, to say the least. And because all data transferred between the mail client and the content server, including your password, is encrypted using the same technology to secure credit card transactions in transit, there is little chance that your password will be found due to using dynamic mail content.
