It's phony. At the least, you'd expect the return address to be in the fastmail.com domain.

Official email from FastMail will always display with a green "tick" icon. If it doesn't have it, it's a forgery. See here for details: https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/02/13...from-fastmail/

Your thinking it's phony is definitely right.
Another phoniness clue. (if Fastmail knows your email address, they know the name that you used to sign up. Although some of their mailing list emails start with Dear Fastmail User,) Quote:

SPAM filter needs attention?
My mom's FM account has been flooded with these obviously phony phishing messages. UNfortunately she uses an IPad which has no mouse over or right button to see the bogus source header. I don't remember there being an equivalent to the 'green' label.
Interesting that I rarely see one of the same kind. |

I am getting a lot of these two. Started a few months ago. Getting spam with my forged email address (from me to me) which I did not send. No way to stop it apparently.

I occasionally send emails to myself. I thought about the filter. I just want to block them so they never reach my Inbox but it appears that is impossible so either I filter them and retrieve the ones I have sent or do nothing and delete them as they arrive.
