More scam emails

As a follow up to a previous email scam (https://kitsunesoftware.wordpress.com/2018/08/09/anatomy-of-a-scam-and-livejournals-lost-passwords/), I'm now seeing scam attempts to fake the "from" line of an email to look like it comes from myself, from a hacked account.

It's not different enough from the previous attempts to bother showing the content, and already been discussed by way of other examples on Hacker News.

The only interesting new point, is that this shows me that my email account's Sender Policy Framework settings are not fully active. Apparently it's in a fallback state because my domain hosting is still being transitioned from Retrosnub to Mythic Beasts.
