What is Domain spoofing?
Domain spoofing is sending email that forges your exact domain in the From address, without having access to your email accounts.
Why businesses care
Recipients see your real domain name, so spoofed invoices or password-reset requests look authentic.
Example
An email “from” accounts@yourcompany.com sent by a stranger’s server.How to check
