> Part of the problem is technological in that we never adopted a way of verifying senders are who they claim to be, but a large part of it is that humans are really good at fooling other humans, at least enough of the time to cause trouble.

Tell me more about how DKIM and SPF and TLS with client certificates don't verify senders.

I didn't say they didn't, I said we haven't adopted a way of verifying senders. If DKIM, SPF, and TLS were universal, it would be a solved issue, but they aren't for a whole lot of reasons.

P.S.: However, come to think of it, they don't. You can receive a perfectly legit and verified email from [email protected] with the name displayed as "Mr. Your CEO".
