Fradulent use of Outlook

J

Justin

Hope one of you cna help here. I've had enquires from
people commenting on the ability for Outlook users
to 'change' their email address as it will appear in
senders inboxes. Obviously this could be used by
individuals in a fraudlent manner i.e. i send an email out
and it appears in your inboxes as
(e-mail address removed) - i then ask for your account
details.

Does anyone no of a) how easy it is to do and then b)Why
this function exisits whithin outlook (if ofcourse it
does) - also i suppose will this function work through an
exchange server?
