Verifying
the original sender of Email is a technically challenging
process. Most of the time we blindly open the email we
receive and expect that it always is from sender listed in the
From: field of the message. But how do you verify the
message if there is no From: in the message?
Many of our customers have asked how they can
examine the headers from their email. This is an easy to use
reference for your use.
