Clinton ran own computer system for her official emails

Surely, this must have been common knowledge at the State Dept. Wouldn't they have noticed that her emails came from a domain that wasn't dos.gov? And if she was communicating with other State Department officials, wouldn't the emails they received from her at their dos.gov email be part of the public record anyway, defeating the purpose of running your own server?

I just read at tech dirt that she gave staffers email from her domain. So there's that. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150303/17404530204/what-...

Her emails may have looked like they did come from dos.gov. It's trivial to spoof a From header.

Does not appear to be the case, "Guccifer" was the first to bring this to light after he broke into Sidney Blumenthal's AOL account, they came from "[email protected]".

Hah! Try spoofing an email to a recipient in the State Dept and tell me how it works out :)

Find me someone in the State Department willing to be the recipient and I will happily conduct this experiment. Why do you think it would be any harder to spoof an email to the State Dept than anywhere else?

"No SPF records found"

Looks pretty spoofable.

SPF only validates the envelope, not the From header. To do that you need DKIM, and I'd be surprised if Dept of State has implemented that.
