What is emailSpoofTest.com and what is it used for? EmailSpoofTest.com is the only safe, easy, and private email self-penetration testing platform with everything you need to test and validate the security of any email system. The concept: is to send yourself phishing & fraud emails using all the possible ways hackers can fake email; to test if an email system will drop the fraud email or allow fraud email in. If you get any of the clearly marked test emails, there are instructions inside with hints on how to correct the configuration.
Why is there a need for emailSpoofTest.com?
