George (I took the liberty to spell your first name correctly), THIS
message shows coming from YOUR account and from YOUR server. But I
assure you, I won't make it sound like every other thing you have said.
The purpose of this little hacking demonstration is to show, that in 30
seconds one can already fake a message pretty well. If one is willing to
invest an hour - it would look totally realistic.
Internet mail has NO authentication feature built in. Virtually anyone
can send any message from most SMTP servers - WITHOUT having an account
or a password there.
NOTICE: THIS IS A FAKE MESSAGE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES.
