Subject: SV: [SPAM] - SV: Plasman - Sender is probably forged (SPF Softfail)
Someone forged your "aib.se" domain. Because you published SPF, the
recipient (Simon(_dot_)Sjogren(_at_)massteknik(_dot_)com) MTA got a SOFTFAIL
result. So
far so good. Their software designers have apparently decided that
in the case of SOFTFAIL, the domain owner wants to know about the
forgery - so their MTA sent you a reply. Their MTA should have
sent you a DSN instead of a reply, but then mail software that actually does
what it is supposed to is becoming increasingly rare.
