Authentication-Results: mta308.mail.mud.yahoo.com from=charter.net; domainkeys=neutral (no sig)

This was on the email sent to me. I was not sure what it means. Somehow I don't like the idea of the person "proving" that I got an email.

PS This is from an old BF - not business mail.

Thanks for helping me solve this silly problem!

Patricia

1. No

That's not what that means.

What it really means is a complex subject, but it is essentially a header used by e-mail transfer services to validate the authenticity of the e-mail.
