Not being expert, I do recall having had some time back an app that would
change the time/date stamp of any file/folder and I assume that would
include emails. When such an app does so, would it not be wise to design
such files/folders/emails such that editing of the headers leaves an
invisible
Remember that email headers are just text. And there are no checks on those
headers, practically speaking.
If someone spoofs your mail server, everything in that message could be
false.
If you have verified that the message came from your real mail server, then
there is a reasonably good chance
I have more than enough email accounts around the world. Yahoo, for
instance, has many SMTP servers in other countries. I can use any one of
them. When the Yahoo.es SMTP server [located in the UK] crashed last
year, I used one of their other ones, like smtp.mail.yahoo.au, or use my
GMail or Lycos
The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to ascertain the likelihood
that the header time stamps on some mail I have received from a sender
are accurate or possibly fabricated.
The headers should contain at least one Received: line. If those
lines aren't forged, they are usually
Does anyone know if the times listed in email headers can be spoofed?
If the sender changes their clock date/ time then the sending date/ time
is spoofed but it seems to be that the server transit point times list
on full header could not be spoofed. Is that true or false... does
anyone
Any part of the header can be spoofed with the right technique and
access. That said, it is unlikely to be spoofed on your mail
server's portion without that server having been compromised.
When you see a wonky time stamp it is more likely that the server has
its settings wrong wrt local
Does anyone know if the times listed in email headers can be spoofed?
Everything in an email header can be easily spoofed.
