Possibly the reason is that teachers and administrators have one server and the
students have another. The students is called "stumail" and any recipient of
mail from a student would recognize that it came from a student.
In addition, our mail program requires that real names must be attached to all
mail messages. Without it, the mail would be returned to the sender. We use
POPMail, a free program from the University of Minnesota. We like this program
because it is visual and easy to set up...even for the first graders who have
their own accounts.
If a student would try to use teacher/administrator mail, the student would
need to know the teacher's password which is different that what the students
use; teachers/administrators can and do change their password so that no one
would know it.
Unless I'm missing something here, I don't see how mail spoofing could occur.
The trick is to have two servers.
