Email "Spamming" and Email "Spoofing"


{LANG_NAVORIGIN} Malicious Code Spam
By: London School of Economics, 04/08/2004



Email "spamming" refers to sending email to thousands and thousands of users - similar to a chain letter. Spamming is often done deliberately to use network resources. Email spamming may be combined with email spoofing, so that it is very difficult to determine the actual originating email address of the sender.
Email spoofing refers to email that appears to have been originated from one source when it was actually sent from another source. Individuals, who are sending "junk" email or "SPAM", typically want the email to appear to be from an email address that may not exist. This way the email cannot be traced back to the originator.
