Basically we had to send the low level commands of an email for it to go through. After doing this I realized something weird. The email gets to say who it is from.

I remember realizing this and thinking it was weird too when I was reading about SMTP. Specifically, the MAIL FROM command.

Spoofing email is hilariously easy. GPG signing really needs to be made easier
