As you mentioned, remapping is not the same as spoofing. Imagine someone's
ability to send you back URI www.yourbankname.com as the current domain
when you're actually at nastysite.thief.com (obviously, that's simply
impossible, but if you look at the senders question, it's kinda that what
he's trying to achieve - of course, in this case, with innocent subdomain
spoofing)
