A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

    Anyway they should configure their systems to reject unsigned e-mails and providers that don’t have a proper SPF configuration. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) allows you to make sure that the message was sent by an approved server and was not forged by some hackur.

      You’d be surprised how many legitimate email are sent with failed SPF. Even Microsoft sometimes doesn’t update their MX records and the SPF fails.
