My response:
Your ignorance of the difference between an easily and almost assuredly forged “From” line and the real sender violates my policy of not accepting email from fuckwits or from systems run by fuckwits. Have a good day.
Yeah, seeing that you use SPF, they have little excuse.
Great Scott. You actually respond to those? I haven’t bothered for a couple of years now. Ditto for “your spam was rejected” mails.
I don’t respond very often, but this one made it through my spam filters.
For the love of symmetry, I hope you sent that reply to abuse@centerparcs.com?
