“…Banday et al in [4] have shown how header analysis can be carried out on a suspected e-mail message to detect possible date spoofing in it, however, they have neither proposed any model nor have given its implementation details. They have also mentioned some techniques that may be used to stop e-mail date spoofing.…”

“…Accordingly, a date spoofed e-mail may be either a predated or a post-dated message. Date spoofing has been reported by Banday et al in [4], who have conducted a detailed study of handling of such e-mail messages by some commercial and corporate e-mail servers. It has been reported that: a) almost all studied e-mail servers accept e-mail messages spoofed in date, however, some reject post-dated e-mail messages spoofed in date by more than two days, b) on webmail systems which use send date as a sort field, post-dated e-mail messages remain on top in the inbox of the recipients, c) send date sorting and short date formats in some webmail systems make even learnt recipients difficult to suspect a mail being spoofed in date, and d) date-spoofed e-mails are not trapped by spam filters.…”

“…Date spoofing aids spamming by increasing chances of opening spam e-mails and impediments its countermeasures due to increase in false positives [4]. The problem of date spoofing is not only limited to spamming, it can cause manifold of problems, more serious than spamming.…”

Different security protocols offer different levels of security to insecure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. These protocols vary considerably in degree of efficiency and adaptability. E-mail system not only suffers from various well known message integrity problems like spamming, phishing, sender spoofing, etc., but it also experiences a lesser know problem of date spoofing. This paper briefly appraises date spoofing and threats it can cause to e-mail and other e-systems. It also illustrates processes to send and receive date spoofed e-mail messages. Further, it lists solutions to the problem of date spoofing and proposes a model including necessary algorithms to detect and stop transmission and reception of date spoofed e-mail messages.

“…These protocols either use cryptographic techniques or encryption or some domain validation standards. A detailed survey of e-mail servers in dealing with problem of date spoofing and apprizing e-mail user behaviour with regard to date spoofing has been carried out in [4]. However, this study has not carried out study pertaining to sender spoofing and treatment of such e-mail messages by e-mail servers.…”

“…A detailed record of e-mal security protocols and procedures along with the functioning of some prominent security protocols is given in (Banday 2010b). Very limited numbers of e-mail users use these protocols to secure their e-mails due to either their limited technical skill or unawareness about their existence (Banday 2010a)]. Further, their use has not been made mandatory and as such unwillingness of some ESP's does also limit their use.…”

Electronic Mail (E-Mail), which is one of the most widely used applications of Internet, has become a global communication infrastructure service. However, security loopholes in it enable cybercriminals to misuse it by forging its headers or by sending it anonymously for illegitimate purposes, leading to e-mail forgeries. E-mail messages include transit handling envelope and trace information in the form of structured fields which are not stripped after messages are delivered, leaving a detailed record of e-mail transactions. A detailed header analysis can be used to map the networks traversed by messages, including information on the messaging software and patching policies of clients and gateways, etc. Cyber forensic e-mail analysis is employed to collect credible evidence to bring criminals to justice. This paper projects the need for e-mail forensic investigation and lists various methods and tools used for its realization. A detailed header analysis of a multiple tactic spoofed e-mail message is carried out in this paper. It also discusses various possibilities for detection of spoofed headers and identification of its originator. Further, difficulties that may be faced by investigators during forensic investigation of an e-mail message have been discussed along with their possible solutions.
