Your email accounts may suffer from spoofing if you receive bounced messages from emails that appear to have been sent from your account, or if you receive a reply from a message you never sent.
How does mail spoofing happen?
When you are sending an email, a sender name is attached to the message. However, the sender's name can be forced.
When a case of spoofing happens, your address can be used as the sender's email address as the reply-to or reply-to address.
I am receiving bounces from emails that I did not send.
Why do mail bounces happen?
Some spammers use software programs to create random lists of emails that they use in spoofing.
If a spammer spoofs your email, you may receive sports of delivery failures from emails that appear to have been sent by you.
How to fix the problem?
Since these emails are created outside of our platforms, we cannot stop spammers from spoofing your account.
If you receive these emails, report them as spam.
There are Spam emails sent from my email
Why does spam sent from my email happen?
Some spammers try to send emails with a fake "from" address. Spammers hope that if the email appears to be sent from your account, it will not be marked as spam.
If you see an email in spam that replaces your email as "I" someone tried to put your email in the "from" field of the message.
My friends and family say I send them spam
What should I do to avoid spoofing?
-
Secure your account by changing your password and running an antivirus scan on your computer and those of your loved ones.
-
Add DKIM and DMARC records to secure your domain.
- Install an antimalware on your computer or on the one you use the accounts frequently (AdwCleaner is our recommendation)
