I remember it was possible in 2005-2006. Some software solutions would allow sending emails to anyone and forge the sender identity.
For example, I could send an email to anyone and pretend I am sending it from [john.doe@amazon.com](mailto:john.doe@amazon.com)
The recipient would see [john.doe@amazon.com](mailto:john.doe@amazon.com) as the original sender.
I know the blue tick mark and DKIM exist but is this still possible today?
