As a bonus: Sometimes a human reacts *on top* later to tell me where to stuff **my** spam - not understanding that someone else just "ordered pizza in my name" here.

@bekopharm@indieweb.social People are hopeless when it comes to understanding how e-mail works. Before the SPF became at least somewhat common, I got plenty of cases where someone sent e-mail spam with my address as the sender. It's nothing new, but it's sad to see people replying to the spams, lashing out or making threats. In the beginning I answered couple of them to explain what was happening, but that just made them angrier, because apparently you can only send e-mail from specific address if you know the account's password. As a long term unix admin, who has run numerous e-mail servers, I strongly disagree but what do I know.
