So, how easy is it to spoof email? The real-life example above took the spoofing sender (someone on our staff) less than five minutes, from start to finish – including the time that it took to search for and find an email spoofing service. Feedback is welcome.Spoofing Email: The act of sending an email that appears to be from someone else. The following sections describe some of these features, but remember that anything in this section can change in future updates of MailMate. This is typically features which have no graphical user interface. MailMate is under continuous development and many features implemented in MailMate have only reached an experimental level. Descriptions for these headers are specified in ist (currently very incomplete). More headers can be found using the Other… menu item in the popup. A default set of headers shown in this popup is specified in ist. The headers and parsers available are exposed in MailMate via the headers popup shown, e.g., when specifying the filter for a smart mailbox. Current examples are #recipient which merges to, cc and bcc and #mailer which merges x-mailer, user-agent and x-newsreader. ShorthandĪ shorthand specifies how a special header name (a shorthand) can be used to reference multiple headers. Remember: The format is subject to change. The format of the parsers is informally specified in the file itself. Since parsers also exist for the various parts of an email address, it is even possible to write (or implicitly by just using from.toplevel).Ĭurrently, you can both specify new parsers and override existing parsers (extreme care should be taken if doing the latter). The following are examples of a From header containing the same email address:įrom: the complexities of the above, it is possible to reference the email address by simply writing from.address.
The names of these parsers can then be used in queries/filters to reference the data of interest in a simple manner.

ParserĪ parser specifies how to identify the various parts of a message header. It contains specifications of parsers and shorthands. Message HeadersĪpart from normalization of message headers, all information needed from message headers is obtained using the regular expressions in ist (currently located in Frameworks/OakMIME/Resources). With the exception of cascading style sheet (css) files, the files are in the ASCII property list format.
In some cases, the copy replaces the original and in others, the copy extends the original. A custom version of a file can be made by making a copy in ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/ and then edit it. Most of the following files are located in the Resources folder of MailMate. Integration with other applications can be done using so-called bundles. That said, the following is also an opportunity to play with aspects of an email program which are most often strictly off limits. Even if something does work, it is not unlikely that it is going to malfunction in future updates of MailMate. It is essentially a peek into some of the raw inner workings of MailMate and you could very easily make changes which would cause MailMate to malfunction. All of the following is subject to change.
