Verify email sender is not spoofed?
hello!
is it possible to verify that an email's sender address has not been manipulated, given access to the complete mail headers.
i ask because i think of creating a service where users can do actions by writing and the receiving mails.
so there would be the possibility of people abusing the service to spam others via my mail server.
thanks a lot for helping me!
