It meat that has gone through a hull implosion.
It could be human, it could be half a can of Spam... Would be hard to tell the difference without a DNA test.
Resisting the urge to post the expected comment here.
DKIM or SPF?
I know enough to understand that that should be really funny, but not enough to understand exactly why.
They're tools used to detect / protect against spam.
Yes, that's what I was plenty aware of. I failed to make the connection between spam (unsolicited email) and SPAM (the Hormel potted meat prduct), which was mentioned in the parent comment.
I'm just not always on my toes, it seems. I appreciate your apt hint.
Edit: Oh, I know why I didn't connect. I was thinking of those as ways to verify a sender's identity. By that operation, a consequence is that spam is prevented, but I was only focusing on the primary function.
Hehe. It was pretty obscure.
I guess the eels have left the hovercraft.
Coincidentally, I have been working with email for twenty years. I should have done better.
