I tried to send a message to support for a company with a form on their website. I got an email back saying it didn’t pass SPF because they used my email address in the From: header.

I did manage to find the email address their PHP script tried sending it to. I emailed them about the problem with solutions to fix it. And of course they never got back to me.

They probably tried to get back to you but used an internal we form that filled the from header with their email address. 💀
