No, that had nothing to do with gmail. It never went through gmail.
I thought GMail would scan for all suspecious emails, and according to logical something that arrived into my GMail, with "From: al4321@gmail.com" - my email address, but never sent from my account is spoof.
It means, that GMail isn't protected :(
No, it does not. The "From:" *address* is spoofed. The mail does not go thru gmail's servers except/unless delivering *to* a gmail addr.
Yes, but I got this email into my GMail account, which means that GMail server are involved in the process. And they could check if email with such content ever left my account beforehand. And if not, reject email. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
