émail

[Michel]

I'm getting émails of someone I don't know..., but I'm keeping messages of the person. This is the header: How must I interpret "may be forged"?

 

Received: from mail.worldnet.att.net (200-171-37-156.speedyterra.com.br [200.171.37.156] (may be forged))

I've replied to the person: this is what I got back, the adress doesn't exist:

(so forging is right I suppose, but no why to know who it is?or where. The adress is from america as far as I know, but the message is written in german)

the from is easily forged by spammers. i think this is called header munging so that replying to the email will just get you a bounced messages since the recipient doesnt exists. you could submit it to spamcop so it can parse where the email really came from.

 

ciao!
