In some countries there is a act against E_mail spoofing,in the united state The federal CAN SPAM Act also makes it illegal to send unsolicited e-mail with false or misleading headers or deceptive subject lines.The problem with legislation is that spoofing hid the identity of the sender and makes it difficult to sue or prosecute.
