# Email Spoofing Test ## Overview Email spoofing is the forgery of an email header, making it appear as though the message originated from someone or somewhere other than its actual source. This tactic is commonly used in phishing and spam campaigns, as individuals are more likely to open emails they believe have been sent by a legitimate source. The goal of email spoofing is to entice recipients to open the email and potentially respond to the solicitation. ## Checklist * [x] [Register the domain](/application-reference/settings/common-system-settings/domains.md#register-a-domain-via-the-domain-registration-wizard) * [x] Create a recipient on the domain * [x] [Create a mail spoofing campaign in the wizard](/application-reference/campaigns/wizard-mode.md) ## Run the Test To run the mail spoofing test simply enter the domain and recipient in the wizard and click **Start Test**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
