I just noted a hilarious thing about the DMARC system.
I set my DMARC settings to “reject” 100% of unauthenticated emails, and now, I’m receiving all the bounces from my email provider that are rejecting spam emails sent to me that are also purported to be from me!
So, I’m still receiving the spam that spammers intended to send to me (and also appear from me) but got rejected by the system, and the bounce is from an authenticated address.
This is so circular, it makes my head hurt.
