smtp e-mail headers: return-path vs. sender vs. from

Viewed 43660

Please help me make some order with email headers.

What does each of the following mean: return-path, sender, from.

The question is being asked in the context of an email receiving app (let's say a posterous clone).

  • What can be easily faked?
  • What can be verified?
  • Under what circumstances can the three or two of them differ?
