The term spoofing is also sometimes used to refer to header forgery, the insertion of false or misleading information in email or netnews headers. Falsified headers are used to mislead the recipient, or network applications, as to the origin of a message. This is a common technique of spammers and sporgers, who wish to conceal the origin of their messages to avoid being tracked down. Less fraudulently, some netnews users place obviously false email addresses in their headers to avoid spam or other unwanted responses.
