Gmail: Sending messages from a different address

GMail keeps getting better, now they allow you to send email that looks like it came from another address. But wait! you say, this will lead to people forging email addresses! There is an important step that you need to follow,
email verification.

I wonder how long it will take for a spammer to exploit this loophole. It may be possible to trick someone to reply to the authorization email from your GMail account. I haven’t set up any other email addresses through GMail so it may not be possible. We’ll see.

    So, just out of curiosity, why did you put me on your foes list? Did I offend you?
