I've been getting a fair amount of "spam" that purports to come from
eBay asking me to confirm my account details, bank accounts, credit
cards etc, etc. Now this is obviously a scam and I just delete and
ignore it. But it does raise the question in my mind as to how you
can tell if an email does come from who it says it does.
What I'm asking is, how do you authenticate a questionable email?
