How email spoofing works

The visible From field and SMTP envelope are different parts of a message. That is why SPF PASS alone does not protect a brand.

Header From

This is the name and address a recipient sees. An attacker can place another domain here.

Envelope From и SPF

SPF checks the SMTP-envelope domain, not necessarily the visible From. It authorizes sending systems but does not bind them to the brand without DMARC.

DKIM и DMARC

DKIM signs mail. DMARC requires SPF or DKIM to align with visible From and publishes guidance for messages that fail.
