I did not know this, I moved to mailbox.org in December.

Surely they'll only allow that if they pass the auth and the domain belongs to your account?

No, they don't do that check, that is the problem.

I don’t think they can implement such a check without breaking changes.

And that's why we shouldn't fix bugs anymore? https://xkcd.com/1172/

Fixing this would only affect users who send emails "from" other users email addresses, basically users who commit fraud.
