SPOOLING-OS SPOOFING-Internet

E-mail spoofing is a term used to describe fraudulent e-mail activity in which the sender address and other parts of the e-mail header are altered to appear as though the e-mail originated from a different source.




In Operating Systems,, spooling refers to a process of transferring data by placing it in a temporary working area where another program may access it for processing at a later point in time.


The most common spooling application is print spooling: documents formatted for printing are stored onto a buffer (usually an area on a disk) by a fast processor and retrieved and printed by a relatively slower printer at its own rate. As soon as the fast processor has written the document to the spool device it has finished with the job and is fully available for other processes.
