Different security protocols offer different levels of security to insecure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.These protocols vary considerably in degree of efficiency and adaptability.E-mail system not only suffers from various well known message integrity problems like spamming, phishing, sender spoofing, etc., but it also experiences a lesser know problem of date spoofing.This paper briefly appraises date spoofing and threats it can cause to e-mail and other e-systems.It also illustrates processes to send and receive date spoofed e-mail messages.Further, it lists solutions to the problem of date spoofing and proposes a model including necessary algorithms to detect and stop transmission and reception of date spoofed e-mail messages.
