A "Spoof" in email is like real life when something masquerades as something else. Email spoofing commonly has one entity sending out emails as if they were a different entity. For example, I can go on one of my machines and send you an email that would show up as "GOD@heaven.org" but more accurately I can send an email to "Check this out" to 10 of your friends and the return email address they would see would be yours. So basically I am masquerading as your email account
