Received an email that was sent from my own email address to my own email address
Hello. Today, I received an email that was sent from my email address to my email address saying it was undeliverable. I didn't send it. I logged into EAC and looked went to Message Trace to view any failed delivery messages. I found this one and the reason for non-deliver is:
"Error: 550 5.7.509 Access denied, sending domain toddpierpoint.com does not pass DMARC verification and has a DMARC policy of reject"
I'm fairly new to this stuff, but I did set up DMARC on my DNS a little over a month ago. Does this mean that someone tried to send an email to someone on my behalf and the DMARC policy of reject worked properly? I'm not sure what to think about this. Is there something I need to do to take more precaution?
Thank you.
- Looks like your domain has been spoof by someone. Since you have DMARC set to reject, then is fine, the spoof mail wont reach anyone. You DMARC policy works.
Meanwhile, do check with your teammates anyone sending bulk email through 3rd party blasting server like mailchimp and etc. Just to check in case the email was actually send from your marketing staff.
Make sure you have MFA turn on for you and your user account to prevent email compromising as well.
