The client simply sends the email to your provider\u2019s SMTP server (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server, often called a mail server), and lets the SMTP server decide what to do with your email.<\/p>\n<p>What will happen with your email is entirely dependent on how your email provider\u2019s SMTP server is configured.<\/p>\n<p>The big email providers, such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo, use something called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sender_Policy_Framework\">SPF<\/a> (Sender Policy Framework), <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DMARC\">DMARC<\/a> (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance), and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail\">DKIM<\/a> (Domain Keys Identified Mail) to prevent (among other things) people from sending emails from addresses (spoofing) that aren\u2019t theirs. How each provider handles this situation is a bit different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Why Am I Getting Spam From My Own Email Address?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google simply ignores the new email address you\u2019ve used, and the recipient will see your Gmail address. In our example in the screenshots, Outlook sent the email to Gmail\u2019s SMTP server, which worked out that the email address we were sending from\u2014SomeoneElse@gmail.com\u2014doesn\u2019t belong to us, and so instead the recipient received an email from our original Gmail address.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft-hosted email accounts do things a bit differently. If you try to send an email from an address that you don\u2019t have permission to access, a Microsoft email server (commonly referred to as an Exchange server) will not send the email. You\u2019ll receive a Delivery Failure Notification instead.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-689272 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/x6-Sys-Admin.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.pY8SEM_PEl.png\" alt=\"An example of a Delivery Failure Notification.\" width=\"650\" height=\"298\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, if your company uses a Microsoft Exchange server to handle its email, it\u2019s normally configured to allow you to send an email from any account you have access to, even if that account has not been added to your Outlook.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you have permission to send emails from \u201cno-reply@mycompany.com,\u201d Outlook will send the email to the Exchange server and check that you have permission to send emails from the address. The server will then send the email to the recipient, regardless of whether you\u2019ve added the \u201cno-reply@mycompany.com\u201d account to Outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Other email providers will usually handle emails with the \u201cwrong\u201d address in a similar way to either Google or Microsoft. The easiest way to find out is to try it in Outlook and see what happens. Check your provider\u2019s terms first though, as some might have a provision against doing this.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Scammers_Use_Fake_%E2%80%9CFrom%E2%80%9D_Addresses\"><\/span>How Do Scammers Use Fake \u201cFrom\u201d Addresses?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Large email providers have all kinds of checks and protocols to try to find spam and phishing emails, including emails sent from a fake address.

If they don\u2019t match, especially if they\u2019re from completely different domains, that\u2019s a red flag.
