I got this spam email:



It is obviously a scam, and there is an file in the attached zip called "FedEx.exe" (is FedEx even associated with DHL?). But I'm interested in how it looks like the email came from the DHL.com domain.

How does that work?

Thanks

One of many potential methods...

Sometimes Hotmail alerts me saying that it can tell the from address is spoofed. But it didn't this time.

I'll test the service tomorrow.
