Attention: It’s not me

Some piece of garbage spammer decided to use my email address in the ‘from’ field of his latest marketing effort, making it look like I sent it.

Now, the right question is “wait… how is that possible?” The sad answer is “It’s trivial for anyone with the faintest understanding of email protocols. Who a message is marked as being ‘from’ has nothing to do with who sent it.”

So if you happened to find your way here before sending me a nastygram, no it’s really not from me.
