SPOOFING is when an e-mail is made to appear to come from someone (or
someplace) other than the real sender (or location). The e-mailer uses
a software tool that is readily available off the Internet to cut out
his IP address and replace it with someone else's address.

IP addresses are easy to fake as well. The design principles of TCP/IP
allows the sender of a packet to specify its IP address. The message
will still be routed to its destination using the fake origin address.
Return packets would be mis-routed, however, because TCP/IP would send
responses to the true location of the IP address rather than where it
actually came from. This means that IP spoofing is ineffective in
situations where you need to interact with a remote server, but very
effective in a one-way conversation. I can?t retrieve a Web page using a
spoofed IP address because I need to make the request and then have the
server send me the page. But I can send requests all day long if I don?t
care about the response.
