∙ 15y agoFaking an email is not usually illegal in itself. However, the fake message thus sent may be illegal, depending on what is said, etc., and it may also be a violation of the terms of service by which the sender gains access to the internet. In addition, faking an email for illegal purposes is illegal. This includes but is not limited to scamming.

ANOTHER VIEW: Exactly what do you mean by "fake?" ALL internet traffic can be traced to its origin by the URL from which it was sent. With enough time and research ANYONE's true URL can be found and the traffic they generate, traced back to them.
