it's likely always been this way & I had a luck for a tiny amount of time, but work in large orgs seems to have had a larger push towards the tracking the artifacts of planning and metrics of work, vs. the outcomes. some is necessary. but, it's unsurprising that people are searching for meaning.

there's nothing you can really do, unless they're actually using your domain in the from address. this happens to a friend who runs a tax prep firm; the best thing they can do is remind folks how to check that an email is legitimate
