Email spoofing

The From line is easy to fake on its own. SPF, DKIM and DMARC let receivers check whether the sending server was allowed to use the domain, and DMARC tells them what to do if not. Display-name spoofing, which fakes only the visible name, is not stopped by these.

Spoofing targets your brand or domain; verification concerns the people you write to.
