ummm... you are referring to the address that the email reply to address is set to?
This is not a program to spoof anything, that would be someone types in that address in the client.

The reply to or from address of any email cannot be trusted ever.

Go in to your mail client, and change the address to trump@whitehouse.gov. Nothing will stop you. People dont need to change their email address... that would not fix anything anyway.

Most likely, it has something to do with the "data breach back in 2017" (they informed everyone by email): SS link
On a side note: There's an "edit function" that you can use on your posts

was that a reply to a message, or a random offer to sell you a product? Like, was your text in that message and they replied to it? That would make it different.
If this was just a random message that you got offering to sell you something if you just send BTC to a random address, sane people dont fall for that. No matter what the reply address is.

They were compromised a while back and all the account email addresses were stolen. I still get 10 spam messages a week for ICO and new great deals on crypto.
I have gotten 14 of these domains suspended for spamming, so I dont know why they are still trying, but if you used an address with bitmain, expect it to be filled with scam attempts and ripoff ICO garbage
